Huffington Post: Here's Mitch McConnell's Scathing Speech Against Filibuster Reform

Posted: 11 Jul 2013 08:00 AM PDT

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) raised the possibility of a mid-session rules change on the Senate floor Thursday, suggesting that he and Democrats were ready to explore using the "nuclear option" to prevent Republicans from filibustering White House nominees to agency and cabinet positions. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) clearly believes Reid is about to destroy the Senate. Here's a transcript of his speech, as prepared for delivery:

"Senate Democrats are gearing up today to make one of the most consequential changes to the United States Senate in the history of our nation. And I guarantee you, it is a decision that, if they actually go through with it, they will live to regret.

"It's an open secret at this point that Big Labor and others on the Left are putting a lot of pressure on Senate Democrats to change the rules of the Senate – and to do so by breaking the rules.

Huffington Post: Wanda Sykes And 'Herlarious' Comics On What Really Offends Them About Other Comedians (VIDEO)

Posted: 11 Jul 2013 08:08 AM PDT

It can be pretty hard to offend a comedian. But even thick-skinned comics have moments when they groan in disgust at another comic's act -- and the reason may not have anything to do with the joke's topic.

When Wanda Sykes sat down with her fellow comics -- Gloria Bigelow, Andi Smith and Dominique -- for her new special "Herlarious," the women discussed what they truly find offensive on stage. A tasteless joke doesn't offend them at face value, they say -- as long as it's funny. But if it's not?

"If it's not funny, then I'm offended," Bigelow says. "That may be what insults me the most. It's racist and not funny. Or it's misogynist and not funny."
