UPDATE!! Senator Johnson had what's known as AVM, or arteriovenous malformation, causing arteries and veins to grow abnormally large and become tangled.

Running the United States Senate Doesn't Take Brain Surgery... Oh, Wait, Yes It Does

Senator Johnson is out of surgery and political pundits everywhere are wondering if the Democratic Senator is going to be alive enough NOT to resign his senate post, giving control of the senate to the Axis of Republicans. Initial indications are that it wasn't a stroke, but nobody can officially say because of privacy laws. If it wasn't a stroke, it most likely was an aneurism, which may have been clipped by now.

I've already heard pundits that talked about how Strom Thurmond spent the last of his time in the Senate in a near stupor, oblivious to everything and everyone.

We'll see how this all plays out

Looks like he'll NOT have to resign office.

Tom DeLay is "making friends" with all his influence buying friends by declaring that
Ronald Reagan was responsible for the current Iraq mess.

Here's a hint, Tom. Your flameout from Congress was spectacular, but pissing off all the Reagan lovers who are currently paying your "speaking fees" will have you shopping at the Dollar General Store before you know it. Best crank up that spin machine.

Here in Texas, the Dems are all thumbing their noses at DeLay, because the one bit of gerrymandering Tom personally tried to do in order to steal a Congressional District backfired, even getting the right leaning Supreme Court to side with Dems. And finally, the whole matter is settled after the vote, and the district goes to the Dems. (The Repub got the most votes in the November election, but the Dem won the runoff.)

A little bit of negative legacy for DeLay, and all Texas Dems wear a smile today.

Nicole Ritchie WILL be spending at least five days in jail. Mandatory sentencing laws, as this will be her second DUI.

You realize, of course, that she'll have to go in on the honor system. They could never keep her in jail -- if she wanted out, she'd just turn sideways and dissapear completely.

Bob Dylan didn't kill that girl. Or did he?

But the movie that has the character responsible for it changed the name from 'Bob Dylan' to a fictional name. Dylan and his reps say that's not enough. The movie comes out soon, and we'll see how this all plays out. [Page Six]

Ever see those T-shirts with the "No Fear" emblazoned on them?

The guy that created that logo committed suicide.

Evidently, Fear WAS a factor for him. (Actually it was pain, according to this)
