A look at current events from the point of a view of a Conservative Evangelical Christian who stands firmly on the Word of God (that's the Bible for those of you at Berkley) and stands behind the Constitution of the United States of America. So grab yourself a big cup of java, kick back in your chair and enjoy another member of the "vast right wing conspiracy" making his voice heard.

Brain Surgery and Senate Service

Prayers are going out and are requested for Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) and his family. Apparenlty they still aren't sure what the issue is, or they are not saying, but he was admitted to the hospital yesterday with stroke like symptoms and did have some sort of brain surgery today.

It does bother me in a way though that they are already discussing the possible shift in power in the US Senate as a result of this. SD has a GOP Governor who would more than likely appoint a Republican to fill the seat of Sen. Johnson if needed; splitting the evenly at 50-50 with VP Cheney having the deciding vote.
Of course, if Sen. Johnson is indeed deemed "incapacitated" and unable to do his job, i don't see a problem since the vast majority of the members of both houses are congress are basically brain dead to begin with.

Speaking of which (and this is way off subject, but it's my blog...so get over it!), our favorite psycho nut babe from Georgia, former Rep. Cynthia McKinney has introduced legislation to impeach President Bush before she is escorted out of the House to slug a cop for one last time. You can read about it here: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,235637,00.html .
Keep in mind she also introduced legislation to have a collection Tupac Shakur's recordings placed at the National Archives and a federal probe launched to investigate his death.
I wonder if there is an available bed for her????
