But let’s just say I’m mighty pissed at the John Burge Protection Act that is effected by Blagojevich’s amendatory veto.

What is missing? Well news. Only the Countdown does any significant reporting and perhaps Hume from time to time. How about some reporting? Actually I can’t say that, I can’t sit through Zahn, Brown or King so maybe Brown or Zahn sneak in some actual news stories. But who cares, I watch news for news. Olbermann is the only inventive style up there with the rest being designed for people to yell at each other.

Lance Going For 6 and Tyler was Amazing
Bonnie DeSimone has done another bang up job covering the Tour de France.
Lance, of course, won, and Tyler came in 4th with a fantastic time trial. While Tyler is amazing, he is also 32 making it hard to believe that beyond Lance’s career he’ll be around. However, if he can stay healthy next year he may well be the strongest challenger along with Ullrich who is only 29.
I wouldn’t bet against Lance next year.

Illinois Senate Roll Call Comments
All right, given the field is starting to settle this might work as a slightly better feature. I’ll put it on a regular schedule after this week once I determine the best time to do it.
That being said, what are your thoughts on the contenders? Who is up, who is down? Why? Remember both parties’ scrums are ready for analysis.
The Worst Possible Lawsuit to Face
Is when the judiciary sues another branch for benefits. Why? Because they will eventually win. Duh.
Officially Too Weird
I’m out of commentary on the Miriam Miquelon story now that we know there was a gun bust was done at her registered Metro East residence.
