We know you are probably busy with last minute Christmas shopping…so…

To help you keep up with things in the news, we’ve got you a present:

A few last minute  ”What’z up’z”

1.The 111th US Senate has made history by breaking more filibusters than any other Senate in history.(rapturous applause)

Quite the feat, which is why Senate Democrats are now unanimously in favor of filibuster reform. While these efforts would not eliminate the filibuster, it would change the rules to place a greater onus on the minority trying to block legislation.

For example, all 40 senators involved in filibustering (editor: or are they “filibusterees’?) would have to physically remain in the Senate chamber throughout the filibuster process, which could take hours or even days.

2. Want to decriminalize pot? So does Pat Robertson (in case you are unfamiliar with him this is the guy who blamed 9/11 on the gays and feminists). He said that arresting people for possession is wasting money and “ruining young people.” When Pat Robertson says weed is ok, the first question that comes to mind is… what has he been smoking?

3. Speaking of pot…remember the 60’s? That was the bad ole days of segregation and racism.

It appears some folks have a nostalgia for those times past (the racism part… not the “pot” part).

Council of Conservative Christians is taking issue Marvel Studios for casting a black actor in the roll of a norse god “Thor” in a new movie to be released in cinemas. They are saying “It seems that Marvel Studios believes that white people should have nothing that is unique to themselves.” Huh?

We think the CCC should take a chill pill or better yet, share some weed with Pat Robertson.
