Every time you open your mouth, you take a chance of offending someone, somewhere, somehow.

Obama's first press conference.  A joke about Nancy Reagan.  And internet blogs go CRAZY.

Every politician in American history has made apologies.  And, of course, it's front page material.  Isn't something wrong with the media's coverage of our political

" a fence? Seriously?"

I know, hilarious - right? Think I heard it right on Mind of Mencia (back when I had cable) - OK, build a fence....if you deport all of the immigrants, who's gonna build it for you?

Terrible, I know.

And personally, I think we need MORE fistfights in Congress. Get some of those old honkeys in action. Can you imagine what it would've been like if Strom Thurman duked it out with Ted Kennedy back in the day? Biggest. Pay-per-view. Ever.

Have you ever watched British politics? When I was in Canada, they had the Parliament on their version of C-Span. This debonair English gentlemen is reading some legislature on the floor, and out of nowhere, this old member in the last row stands up and shouts (and I quote): "That's bollocks and you know it, you groddy little wanker!" at which the other side responded "Piss off!"...and the resulting pandemonium was the best politics I've ever seen! No joke, they really opened up about the issue, and made it not only interesting, but like they seemed to give a shit about the goings on. Unlike this country, where our elected legislative members don't even show up to 85% of the sessions, and only go to vote. I thought I voted for representation, not to pay some rich asshole tons of money to play hooky.

BTW - update! I'm working on mine, you should too!
