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:

Other exciting episodes in development include “The New Black Panthers Party Hearty,” “ACORN: The Next Generation,” and “All My Birth Certificates.”

@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.
