The Tie: Brown, tan and black stripes.

Number 5: Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) is chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, and now you can expect to pay $12 million under his proposed "compromise" bill. This bill will go down and go down hard. So many strings, so little time... and big insurance - which financed his campaign - responded with big gains on Wall Street. Howard Fineman does not believe that you should as the late Bruce Eric Smallwood circa 1976 WPEN "slang language" newscasts believe that "everything's going up so they're going to have to UP YOURS!"

Number 2 (Worst Persons in the World)

Bronze - Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN DWARF PLANET PLUTO) of worried about food safety.

Silver - Prof. Harold Hill had a meltdown on Joe McCarthy. Billo has the rights to the Joe Mccarthy name BTW. He screwed it up.

Gold - Rep. Joe "The Heckler" Wilson (R-SC) lied about being a immigration lawyer. He's a real estate lawyer.

Number 1: I am required by law to play this again as Miss Wasilla 1984 has become a public speaker as per Keith's tease this evening:
