The news just keeps getting better for the Democrats on the Hill, president-elect Obama and senator-elect Begich.
From one comes many is the kind of math the men and women on the Hill like to count, smile at and take a page from, any Democrat man or woman that is. Ted Stevens' resignation amounts to more grim news for the Republicans around the country. What will Rush do? Yes, what a difference a day makes. Talk of Sarah Palin resigning as governor, and by appointment, taking Stevens' place should he retain his seat, but lose his court case and freedom, came from Sarah herself. In an interview Sarah, singing the politco blues, indicated she was ready for whatever door God sees fit to open. Clearly, God pulled Sarah's senate seat out from under her.…

Stevens' resignation made a recount unnecessary and also made the GOP not have to kick him to the curb publically. Instead they gave him a warm send off publically, no egg on their faces at all.
Everybody saves face with Stevens' resig, even Palin because she did not have to face the humiliation of a no-confidence vote that would have kept her out of the senate.

WASHINGTON, Nov 18, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) is resisting a subpoena in a civil case claiming the Speech or Debate Clause of the Constitution bars him from testifying. Lawyers would like to ask Sen. Chambliss about his communications with the Imperial Sugar Corporation and why he tried to dissuade plaintiffs from suing the company following a deadly explosion and fire at a Georgia refinery earlier this year.
Here is some interesting video:
Chambliss apparently took money from Imperial Sugar lobbyists. Harassed the whistleblower at the Senate hearing. Opposed stricter safety standards after 14 people were killed in February at Imperial Sugar.
He also said he doesn't know what a recession is and that no one knows wether we are in a recession (July 2008). Apparently was not aware that Greenspan announced we were in a recession in April. He prefers to say things like: a recession can be so many things, no one knows what it is, I don't know what a recession is. In the meantime, while Chambliss is busy saying there isn't a recession--Georgia lost 88,000 jobs since January.
What a fucking right-wing dweeb. This is typical. All these people run around defending their "religious" political and economic beliefs without knowing what the hell they are talking about.

Nice of you to decide what is or isn't other people's business!
Sorry if you feel offended, Cindy, but the fact is that, unless you vote in Georgia, Chambliss is literally none of your business in the sense that you have no say as to the outcome of the race.
Nor do I.
Like it or not, that's the reality.

It's a shame Minnesota law doesn't allow for it, because there really should be a run-off as there will be in Georgia - minus the guy who came third yet threw a spanner in the works.
The race at the moment is a tie. With 100-odd votes between them, they could recount and sue until kingdom come and get a different winner every time, purely because of human error.

My Web site updated with new photos and videos of Heloise talking about herself, book and being JFK
Here's what I've been doing all weekend. Can't say Heloise is ambitious. It's taken me like two years to upload, look at, edit, and appreciate my efforts for my book "Dinner With Da Vinci" and in light of the anniversary of JFK's death (of the body) there was a huge ball of light seen over Canada at the same time I was engaged in bringing light to a dark world.
People do take their accomplishments with them contrary to the cliche.
While Canada was ablaze I was looking at interview I did with my brother and sister.
They too were Kennedys. And interestingly they both died in plane crashes, both came back a Geminis born one year and one day apart about the same amount of time between their deaths.
I've also posted one to my facebook. But these are under "videos" can't miss it.

WE HAVE MORE TO DO:
Democrat Jim Martin is in a runoff against Bush Republican Saxby Chambliss for the Senate seat from Georgia. Bush's Saxby Chambliss voted against spending a few measly dollars to provide health care coverage for Georgia, and Americas needy children. But he supported wasting hundreds of billions of your dollars, and the life BLOOD of Americas finest on an unnecessary war in Iraq.
At a time when 47 million of you have no health insurance coverage, and over 100 million of you with insurance are just one major illness away from complete financial destruction. Bush and Saxby Chambliss voted to make the heart break of bankruptcy relief even harder for all of you to use.
You see, Bush and Saxby Chambliss, and his family don't have to worry about their health care coverage. They have the finest health care coverage your tax money can buy for them. Courtesy of you. The American Tax payer. In fact, no one but the super rich can afford the health care coverage you the tax payer provide for Saxby Chambliss, and his family for FREE! with your tax dollars.
He supposedly works for you. But he doesn't think you and your family should have access to the type of taxpayer supported FREE health care that you provide for him, and his loved ones for FREE!. Doesn't that just make you BURRING MAD!
Vote for JIM MARTIN for US senator from Georgia. Vote for JIM Martin who will be on your side. Vote for JIM MARTIN who will work with President Obama and a majority congress for you. Vote for JIM MARTIN most of all for your-self, your family's, friends, and loved ones. Vote for JIM MARTIN for a better America, and a better World.
Don't let Saxby Chambliss make a chump out of you by tricking you into voting against your own best interest. Saxby chambliss is NOT! on your side. He's not one of you. He is on George Bush's side. And we all know what a catastrophe the Bush Chambliss administration has been the past 8 years.
Contact all your family and friends and do every thing you can to see to it that JIM MARTIN and GEORGIANS! take that senate seat back for Georgia, and America. No matter where you live in America. This is important to you. President Obama will need all the help, and power you can give him to try and fix this catastrophic mess that the Corrupt Bush Chambliss administration has created.
As I said before you will have to vote in overwhelming numbers to overcome the Bush Chambliss "Let Them Eat Cake" vote fraud machine. Vote early if you can. Then help everyone you can get to the polls and vote for JIM MARTIN. You and your loved ones don't have to be Saxby Chambliss's victims anymore.
I know you will get it done. Just like you did for President Obama.
God bless all of you
