I'm sitting here watching some of my favorite shows (on NBC) and then they went and ruined it: apparently they've given Uri Geller a TV show. No matter how many times this asshat gets exposed, no matter how many times magicians show how his tricks are done (and do them better), no matter how many

It's like a slow-motion car wreck with the Democratic Party. The war is unpopular, the housing slump is weighing on people's minds, and Republicans are on the defensive in districts all around the country. So what do the Democrats do? Fight each other! http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/story?id=3
