The Circus Comes to Town
Yeah, we know — it never left. But if, unlike Jon Stewart and a nation of teabaggers, you haven’t been pigging out on Fox News 24/7, you can now enjoy its new spinoff channel, the United States House of Representatives:
The GOP plans to hold high profile hearings examining the alleged “scientific fraud” behind global warming, a sleeper issue in this election that motivated the base quite a bit.
Other exciting episodes in development include “The New Black Panthers Party Hearty,” “ACORN: The Next Generation,” and “All My Birth Certificates.”

What Now? An Epic Election Meets the Future [Marc Ambinder]
The GOP Plan To Investigate Obama: The First Four Potential Investigations [TPM]
Global warming hearing followed up in the House Natural Resources Committee with:
Plate Tectonics: When Will California Fall in the Pacific Ocean?
Is it Gravity or Intelligent Falling?
How the New Black Panthers Caused the Gulf Oil Spill
Fucking Magnets! How Do They Work?
All Female Politicians Are Witches: The California Ones Float On Water
Oooh, and pass the popcorn and let the mainstream v. teabagger infighting and krazee begin: Bachman to run for leadership position on behalf of her Tea Party Caucus, challenging the GOP establishment’s favored son.
Go, Michelle, GO!
@FlyingChainSaw: Oh, just admit it Chainsaw, you won’t be happy until Talibunny and Bachman are making out on the House floor.
@FlyingChainSaw: How can I contribute to this Great American Endeavor?
@SanFranLefty: His favorite Spouse of a Ginger did more than eke out a victory in Ohio, so I’d say throw La Kucinich into the mix, as well.
