I have no words violent enough for how infuriating those stupid ass republican senators make me feel. And I'm not even american.

I watched this last night and loved every second of it, I found it amazing. And then I got really pissed off that this "Comedian" has to be the one to do this shit in this country. He has to be the one with the power to put on television would should be obvious moral outrage to everyone in the world. Then I got really pissed off and had to sit in the corner for awhile.

It's been fashionable among some on this site to say that Democrats are just as corrupt as Republicans. Is these folks are still confused, this video, along with the tax giveaways to the rich, war chants and a plethora of other horrors underway in the capitol should be suitable evidence to the contrary.

never even heard of face cancer. damn.

It's my understanding that the vast majority of modern filibusters are carried out only by the threat to filibuster, and no one actually has to get up and talks for hours on end. BUT that Democrats could force Republicans to truly filibuster through unlimited debate if they choose to.

My question is why the fuck not? Obviously most Republicans are ashamed of their party's stance on the issue, and forcing them to go on the senate floor and talk about it for hours would make it the top news story.

Unfortunately, forcing a Republican filibuster would not lead to true debate, rather Republicans would be forced to read phonebooks endlessly. Interesting news coverage it is not.

I've said it before I'll say it again.

This is why John Steward and The Daily show have swept their spot in the Emmy's 8 years in a fucking row! Nobody does it like Stewart!
