Thanks, But We've Got Enough Assholes.

Arlen Specter is now a Democrat.

Well, whoopty-freakin-doo!

If he'd made this decision this four years ago I would have stood up and applauded him, maybe even tossed him a party, but it's clear to anyone with a functioning brain stem that he only made this gutless move in order to save his job, and that job is making a fat living off of lobbyists. We've already had too much of that so let's hope his constituents see through this act in 2010 and finally can his sleazy butt for a REAL Democrat.

Coincidentally, he's opposed to same-sex marriages. Who'd a thunk?

Now the good news... Randi Rhodes, the Progressive Goddess herself, is coming back!

She's been signed by Premier Broadcasting, an arm of Clear Channel, and will broadcast live out of Rockville, Maryland beginning May 11th.

This is her second stint with Clear Channel. The first time her program was scheduled to run head-to-head against Rush Limbaugh and she crushed him in most markets. Not long afterwards her show was shifted to a different time slot. That's how modern radio works, folks.
