GOP Cutting Losses In JUNE

Not a good sign for Republicans:

At yesterday's Christian Science Monitor forum -- the same venue where he upgraded the GOP's goal to a potential three-seat loss -- NRSC chairman John Ensign was asked point-blank if the party was giving up on the open seats they currently hold in Virginia and New Mexico, where the Democratic nominees are way ahead of the Republicans in current polling.

Ensign said bluntly: "You don't waste money on races that don't need it or you can't win."

Illegal Immigration Hits Home

Okaloosa County lawmen busted local businesses while searching for illegals.

In the process, one of my fave Mexican restaurants (who doesn't skimp on on the strength of teh ritas) is now closed. One of the few in town that had a liquor license and did not ruin ritas with fucking wine.

Fuck you Tom Tancredo.

Emergency Intervention for Oldest Fucked Up Spears

TMZ reports that she went willingly, but there are some really interesting details:

TMZ has learned the plan to get Britney into UCLA Medical Center had been hatched for days -- it was aborted last night, but executed just minutes ago. And we're told the plan was so intricate the FAA had cleared airspace in route to the hospital.

Back at her house, Britney's psychiatrist told her she was going to the hospital. Her response was, "Is something wrong?" She was not resistant. She made hot chocolate and waited before paramedics arrived and placed her on a gurney.

We're told the psychiatrist felt her condition had deteriorated. Britney had not slept since Saturday -- a day and half longer than she stayed up in recent memory.

The reason she's at UCLA is her new treating psychiatrist practices out of that medical center.

Millboy to Spend More Time with Beard Family

Poor John Edwards. He was white. He was a man. Those factors combined somehow translated into no chance at being President. Welcome to 2008, Millboy.

At 1p EST he'll announce his decision to drop out of the race. This announcement will come from NOLA, where he started his '08 ambitions.

Be prepared for lots of talk about poor people, prescription drugs, evil corporations, and a whole bunch of stuff that homeless Louisianians really don't care about.

I for one will miss Millboy. I'm sure there's a cabinet position, of which you totally don't deserve, in the cards for you.

Godspeed, John Boy.
