Did I just hear Chris Matthews cite Wisconsin as the 2nd cleanest state when it comes to elections on Morning Joe?

Apparently he never read this, this, this, this, this, this, this or this.

The net never forgets.

Update:
This is a serious python moment:

I liked it the other way

Well the Gaza war goes on and Israellycool’s live-blogging does too.

Am I the only guy who doesn’t like the newest updates on the top format? I guess a lot of people are just keeping the page up and refreshing. If you are doing that its likely better and easier to edit for him.

That’s senator idiot to you! Update: Idiocy confirmed!

I can’t find the clip but Morning Joe is reporting that Roland Burris is apparently saying he has Jesus on his side to be the junior senator from Illinois.

If this is true apparently he is an idiot.
If this is not true I will edit the post accordingly

This however doesn’t change the fact that he is legally appointed to the seat and should be seated.

P.S. Admit it you thought this was an Al Franken Post when you read the title didn’t you?

Update: Apparently the quote was slightly different:

Burris, in turn, has gone to court hoping to win an order for White to sign the necessary paperwork, and has also threatened to sue to take his seat in the Senate.

“We are hoping and praying that they will not be able to deny what the Lord has ordained,” Burris said Sunday night.

What an idiot!

Hat tip Newsbusters.

Update 2: Joe and Mika are having much too much fun with this.

Dr. Who Irony alert

If you are not a person who follows Doctor Who you might not know that the four seasons of the revived series has one overriding theme. Rose Tyler, played by Billie Piper.

The doctor meeting, traveling with, slowly falling in love with, losing, tortured over her loss, being pursued by, re-united with, and shot dying in her arms, somehow surviving, and in the end both getting and losing her again at the same time.

So how ironic is it that Billie Piper’s series after Doctor Who was The Secret diary of a Call Girl and the newly chosen 11th doctor not only meet, bed each other (without payment) he uses his powers of deduction to solve a mystery.

They also appear together in a show called The Ruby in the smoke and actually flee from an explosion together.

Talk about typecasting!

Two notes:

#1 As the title might suggest any link to the Call girl series may have content that is not work safe or not proper for younger readers, follow at your own risk.

#2 As time permits I may add You Tube clips concerning the Doctor Who stuff so this post may change as the day goes on.
