Quote of the Day

"If we're going to let the bloggers run the country, then the country's best days are behind us."Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), after bloggers responded to the announcement earlier this week that Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) would replace Senator Arlen Specter (D-PA) as the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee by pointing out that "that Sessions had a record of racial insensitivity that stopped his appointment to the federal bench in 1986."

Just out of curiosity, and because I quite obviously share his feelings about those dirty pajama-wearing hippies, I went to Senator Graham's website to see if he had any petitions I could sign to ban blogging or forcibly relocate bloggers to Halliburton-built detention centers, and I was desperately disappointed to be greeted with this at the top of the page:

Obviously, those traitorous anti-American blogging scum have infiltrated his site without his knowledge. Hopefully someone will let him know!
