The bronze goes to good old Lonesome Rhodes himself, the lame duck Glenn Beck of Fixed News. And of all the theories as to why he’s exiting, stage right, the only plausible one not being widely advanced, is that he’s just run out of bull..

You may have heard about his rant Friday in which his X-Files like unintelligible mondo-conspiracy mutuated yet again. While pointing at a photograph – apparently of William Ayers

The runner-up: Tennessee State Senator Stacey Campfield, Republican of Knoxville, who once again proves my theory that we are not paying our public servants enough, we’re losing the good candidates to McDonald’s.

Mr. Campfield is the man so terrified of homosexuality that he introduced a bill that would make it illegal for a teacher from even referring to the subject in front of kids who are in the eighth grade, or earlier

But our winner – somebody trumping even that level of hate: State Senator Bruce Caswell of Michigan.

He has proposed that foster children in Michigan should only be permitted to spend their state-funded clothing allowance in thrift stores. Quoting this man who would have made the Dickens character Wackford Squeers, who profited off unwanted children, cringe: “I never had anything new. I got all the hand-me-downs. And my dad, he did a lot of shopping at Salvation Army, and his comment was – and quite frankly it’s true – once you’re out of the store and you walk down the street, nobody knows where you bought your clothes.”

Let’s skip the photograph of Senator Caswell and the evidence that he’s not only still buying his clothes there but also cutting his own hair at home. Consider for a moment that little life lesson from Caswell Senior: “once you’re out of the store and you walk down the street, nobody knows where you bought your clothes.”

So why subject foster kids, who already have a sense of vagrancy in their lives when their biggest worry should be about getting their homework done, to being told they’re not good enough to get a new pair of shoes, or underwear?

Michigan State Senator Bruce Caswell Thinks Foster Kids Shouldn't Have New Clothes

Bruce Caswell is a Republican State Senator from Michigan who feels that a foster kid's $80-a-year clothing allowance is just too much. Instead, we should be giving these greedy children a voucher that's only good for used clothing at thrift shops. Thankfully, it seems this brilliant idea has been dropped.

4. Corporate media

pits. Evening MSNBC is great, but the internet MSNBC reflect conversative news, I say no.

I want fact, even though it may hurt, still want it.

5. Unbelievable!

K&R! Way to go Keith!
