Atomic thrill-a-buster…

Congratulations, fellow "nuclear option" survivors.
The thrill-a-minute filibuster crisis is history.

Democracy as we know it has been saved, in a riveting Senate
showdown that most Americans find hopelessly boring compared
to the unfolding drama involving Saddam Hussein’s underpants.

A recent IBS News poll reveals that 92% of U.S. media consumers
instinctively fall into a deep slumber when hearing the term
"stalled judicial nominations," but are easily revived
by the words “half-naked Iraqi madman.”

Meanwhile, with all the attention focused on the Senate’s
so-called “nuclear option,” Iran has reportedly
developed the capacity to suppress dissent using chemical
and biological filibusters. Worse yet, North Korea is said
to be six months away from deploying a neutron filibuster
that destroys all humans within earshot but leaves the buildings
standing.
