Arpaio 's Cold Case Posse?

Here's another example of why it is hard to believe Republicans are taken seriously by anybody:

As birther website WorldNetDaily gleefully reported:

Arizona’s Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio told WND he has assigned a five-member “Cold Case Posse” to investigate the authenticity of Barack Obama’s birth certificate.

The decision, he says, is simply a matter of doing his duty.

“This investigation does not involve politics,” Arpaio told WND.

I'm sure they'll get right to the bottom of this!

We have to get these two together!

Doctor Jack Cassell Tells Obama Supporters To Seek Help Elsewhere.

Pay medical bills with a chicken, says Republican candidate.

LowdenCare for Dr. Cassell. You can't make this stuff up.

So, what are the Republicans going to do?

with their new 41-59 Senate "Majority"? I can remember a time when it only took 51 votes to get something done.

History Lesson

Just a bit of history for Senate Republicans to think about.

71st Congress (1929-1931)

Majority Party: Republican (56 seats)

Minority Party: Democrat (39 seats)

Other Parties: 1 Farmer-Labor

Total Seats: 96

75th Congress (1937-1939)

Majority Party: Democrat (76 seats)

Minority Party: Republican (16 seats)

Other Parties: 2 Farmer-Labor; 1 Progressive; 1 Independent

Total Seats: 96

Heck'uv a job GOP!

National Review proposed New Orleans for 2008 RNC

Back in September of 2005 the National Review ran an editorial proposing that New Orleans be the site of the 2008 Republican National Convention.:

"No single step would go further to dramatize the GOP's commitment to rebuilding New Orleans than announcing now that the party's 2008 convention will be held in the recovering city. Such a move would signal the party's confidence in the Big Easy's renewal, and put it at the forefront of what should be similar commitments from private actors to do their part to help New Orleans come back."

Now considering, Hurricane Gustav heading for the Louisiana coast and the "Focus on the Family" video requesting that Christians pray for it to rain during Senator Obama's acceptance speech in Denver, it would have made for an interesting week if the GOP had taken that advice.

Hoping everybody on the Gulf Coast gets through this one OK.
