From Let Freedom Rain, news about Fox News South:
It's been a perfect day so far. Best of all, FNN is kaput. South of the border, something even more interesting is brewing. The selfish assholes who call themselves tea partiers have party-lusted themselves into major electoral troubles. They elected a non-electable scumbag in Delaware who will take away a sure Senatorial seat from the GOP.
Despite the protestations of major GOP tyrants like Rove, O'Donnell won easily and lost the Republicans a major seat. Best of all, Fox News' Rove is getting shit upon for his role in dissing O'Donnell. It can't get any better than that. Fox News South also in trouble, methinks.
Christine O'Donnell is a piece of um, work.
Across the pond, His Poopiness's tour of the UK is not going well.
One of the pope's top advisers on his visit to England and Scotland has dropped out of his entourage following the publication of an interview in which he said that arriving in Britain "you sometimes think you've landed in a third world country".
Benedict XVI's spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi, told the Guardian, however, that Cardinal Walter Kasper had withdrawn "for health reasons".
He said the 77-year-old prelate's absence from the papal party, which lands in Edinburgh tomorrow at the start of a four-day visit, "had absolutely nothing to do with anything else".
Kasper, the Vatican's leading expert on relations with the Church of England, made his remark after noting that Britain was a "secular, pluralistic" country.
Asked by the German news magazine, Focus, whether Christians were discriminated against in Britain, he replied: "Yes. Above all, an aggressive new atheism has spread through Britain. If, for example, you wear a cross on British Airways, you are discriminated against."
Nope, absolutely nothing to do with fatuous Catlick martyrdom. Perhaps he wants to spend more time with his family. . .
Finally, we'll give the last word to Margaret Atwood whose signature on the Avaaz petition really got this ball rolling.
Re: SUN's Kory T. resigns: I didn't do it. Honest. It was the Great Pumpkin (plus a few Own Goals.)

While O'Donnell has put the Senate race further out of the Republicans' reach, the Tea Party movement has impressed its ideology indelibly on the GOP. There are no moderates any more. Like McCain they've all slithered to safety on the radical, far Right. The only GOP Senate candidate who would acknowledge man-made climate change is the one O'Donnell knocked out last night, Castle. The rest are all denialists.
That attitude will carry over into the House where the Repugs are expected to reclaim control. As pointed out at Daily Kos, that means any U.S. action on climate change, even a hapless cap and trade scheme, is a dead duck for at least the next two years.
With America unwilling to act, our dynamic duo (Harper-Ignatieff) will follow suit and so will a number of other major emitters. I expect Cancun to turn into a complete bust.
