[Adam Hart] This may seem cute to some people. But I’m taking issue with a few parts of Rep. John Shadegg’s (R-Ariz.) use of a small child in his debate against health care reform.

1. He admits that Maddie is not his grandchild. If I were Speaker of the House, my first questions would have been: Did you steal the baby? Why did you steal the baby? Did you make up the name Maddie? Why should I care what a baby thinks? Babies are dumb.
2. That last one was a statement.
3. I seriously doubt Maddie’s mother’s taxes would go up $730 billion.
4. The baby obviously didn’t want to be associated with his argument, hence her continuously pushing the microphone down.
5. Why is he talking for the baby and bouncing it up and down as if it were a puppet? He knows babies don’t work like that, right?

[Adam Hart] Rarely do I make excuses, but today is a rare day. Upon pulling into the parking lot at work, I knew that was a fact. With a parking lot full at 4:50 a.m., it could mean only one thing — Senator Edward Kennedy had died.

A victim of brain cancer which put him on the sideline of a political scene he had been atop for so long, Sen. Kennedy was worthy of wall-to-wall coverage. And so he got it. You, on the other hand, received no song of the day. No chicken panini recipe, which is coming tomorrow. No crude jokes from myself. We are taking today off in honor of Sen. Kennedy.

I hope you can learn what type of person he was by listening to the closing remarks he made during his 1980 Democratic Primary concession speech. He gave us a lesson that night, a lesson about forging on after failure.

[Adam Hart] A dining room table! Oh snap.

P.S. Who is this lady trying to impress with her “President Obama’s health care proposal is the same as Hitler’s” argument? Her hippie friends, I guess.

[Adam Hart] Sarah Palin has nothing to do with this post, other than her role as a GOP governor. But who wants to see a picture of this other guy?

Anyone hear about Gov. Sanford from South Carolina. Word broke Wednesday that he wasn’t “missing” along the Appalachian Trail, but actually in Argentina with a woman not named Mrs. Sanford. read more »
