Actress Susan Sarandon Endorses Clinton Opponent In Senate Race; yeah, Jonathan Tasini may be anti-war and a labor advocate, but in the end, when running against Hillary...all I can say is good luck, buddy--you'll need it.

Senate panel backs US gay marriage ban; what do you say we just throw the Constitution in the trash, guys? Or set the damn thing on fire. After all, the whole lot of seem to think it's nothing more than "a goddamn piece of paper".
