While the GOP Frets Over Nonexistent Flag Burning…
A brutal dictator in North Korea threatens our country with an "annihilating strike and a nuclear war" in response to America's rhetoric over N. Korea's possible missile launch (which was probably a hoax anyway). Keep in mind that Sen.

I recently introduced an amendment at the Senate Budget Committee. It asked my Senate colleagues to begin the process of overturning the disastrous Supreme Court ruling on Citizens United, and to bring transparency and disclosure to the political process.
Conservative types sure are liberal about whom, or what, they're willing to call a person. Hey, corporations are people too! And according to Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and other like-minded state legislators, so is a fertilized egg.
In results released Sunday evening, 77 percent of Egyptian voters have endorsed amendments to their country’s constitution that will pave the way for parliamentary elections, which the military junta said will be held in June.
If you can't beat ’em, hit ’em with a bunch of amendments they'd have a hard time opposing. That was apparently the strategy of Republicans hoping to throw a wrench into the health care reform works in the Senate on Wednesday.
