Canada is undoubtedly LOLROF’ing today, thanks to Sen. Jim Bunning R- Mars. Bunning as you may recall, blocked the extension on unemployment benefits, among other things, because he could. Today, he is halting the heavy duty nominations of the Assistant Treasury Secretary, Chief Agriculture Negotiator, and The Ambassador to World Trade Organization, over candy flavored cigarettes, not ours – Canada’s, which happen to be banned, and I thought…none of our business.I truly would like to meet the aide who researches the obscure reasons Bunning utilizes in his stands against his own government. Obviously he or she has long ago given up on any attempt to make the blockade relate to the business at hand. Stand by to see if Bunning’s wish to file a complaint to the Canadian Parliament to lift the ban is granted. I’ve never been so proud to be an American, and fervently hoping at the very least that it’s not televised!
