All Good Things ...

Various sources are reporting that convicted felon Ted Stevens has lost his bid for reelection to the US Senate to Democratic challenger Mark Begich. I would like to congratulate the soon-to-be-former Senator for all the services he’s rendered to the country, both in giving us an example in what a Senator should not be like, and his efforts on behalf of American comedy. It’s strange to see him finally going – for a while there, it felt like he was more of a natural resource of schadenfreude than a politician. He will be missed.

So I understand DP shook hands with the outgoing Senator shortly before his defeat was announced. Curse of DP in action?

That's odd. I always assumed that Stevens was kept is some kind of containment tank when he was forced to leave Alaska. It's true: you do learn something new every day!
