How the Giullani/Robertson evil alliance happened... via IM
Pat Robertson, one of America's most influential conservative religious figures, announced Wednesday morning he's supporting Rudy Giuliani's presidential bid. With his endorsement, the Christian Coalition founder and "700 Club" host gives Giuliani a major boost, disappoints former Massachusetts governor/Mormon GOP rival Mitt Romney, and thwarts evangelicals who would support a third-party candidate if Giuliani gets the nomination.
Clearly, Robertson will keep a Republican in the White House by any means necessary. But how did it all go down? (READ)

Barney Frank on ENDA
Yes, Barney talks funny and yes he left our Trans brothers and sisters out, but I still get a great feeling watching Barney Frank or Tammy Baldwin, our gay and lesbian representatives, speak. I never thought I'd see the day that we'd have OUT representatives. Gives me a little hope.

Kucinich pushes impeach Cheney resolution
Politico, November 05, 2007
Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) plans to take to the floor of the House Tuesday and introduce a privileged resolution to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney. The privilege approach allows him to circumvent Democratic leadership, which opposes voting on the measure.
His resolution will be met with a motion to table it. A vote against the motion will be a vote in favor of impeaching Cheney – as Kucinich explains over and over in this YouTube clip taken from a presidential campaign stop.
An American Research Group poll this summer found more than half of Americans support his impeachment.
Regardless, the measure is expected to fail by a wide margin.
