Sadly for fans of comedy everywhere, the RNC voted down the proclimation that Democratic Party should rename themselves  "the Democrat Socialist Party."   They did, however, decide to write a strongly worded proclamation that decried the Democrats "march toward socialism."  They then added that they "recognize that the Democratic Party is dedicated to restructuring American society along socialist ideals."  Apparently what happened is that Michael Steele and a few other members of the RNC had a rare bout of self-awareness and realized that the whole naming scheme made them look like idiots.  This was their attempt to look less idiotic. 

Lest you think that this bout of self-awareness would bring some long needed sanity to the opposition party, think again.  The very same RNC also twitted that they were upset that Obama once said that the Constitution was flawed and yes, the very idea that political exchanges are being done on twitter is yet another sign that we're doomed.  That statement in question?  That the Constition was flawed due to that whole slavery/black people only count as 3/5ths of a person thing.
