Colorado Sen. Mark Udall, a Democrat running in a tight re-election race, asked for a do-over during a TV interview on Friday night when he couldn't come up with the names of the three most influential books he'd ever read. 'Oh wow,' he said. 'That's the toughest the, uh, three most influential books in my life' Gathering his composure during a live news broadcast on 7News in Denver, he came up with one. 'Profiles in Courage. The, um, uh .' After a three-second pregnant pause, the stumped senator asked for another chance. 'Let me think. We can play this over, right? I mean, re-tape this?'

What did Asimov's robots experience? Roblock? Think of a positronic brain, but operating at the speed of stupid.
I wonder if this has anything to do with “recreational use of Marijuana”? Isn’t that the new in thing in Colorado? That may make him stupid but cool.
Uterus is toast
Senator Uterus (D-Colo) endorses free-for-all, no limits, abortion and has perfected the Democrat party line: "For the government to step in at any stage of the pregnancy to militarize a woman's vagina is the equivalent of enslaving a woman to the inconvenient fetus just because she had sex w/ some selfish male in heat. I urge women to place her own interests ahead of the parasite feeding off her body."
Sen Udall's dedicated Vagina Unit includes:
Buddy Balzer. Nikita Genitalia, and Sheldon Sheather
(on-loan; VP of PlannedParenthood's Protection-R-Us).
"Just call Sheldon, Buddy, or Nikita, if anyone messes w/ your uterus."
Aha, you got two out of my three. I’d include Bastiat’s “The Law” over Lewis. But Lewis would make the top ten for sure, as would Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman, and Tocqueville.
How is that different from any other day?
Easy. all he had to say was the Bible. when asked for the other two - just say there are too many and not able to narrow it down to just two.
“Timmy Stays Up Late” changed my life completely.
‘I’m brain dead today’
So, what makes that day special?
Udall will get the same redo about reading material that Katie Couric gave Sarah Palin.
These should help him out:
Environmental Overkill, Dixie Lee Ray
Set Up and Sold Out,Find Out What Green Really Means. Swanson
Storm Over Range Lands,Private Rights in Federal Lands, Hage
Cold Sun, John Casey
5000 Year Leap, Principles of Freedom 101
Free Markets, Free Men. Frederic Bastiat
The Law. Fredric Bastiat
Well,assuming that he voted for ObolaCare that would make at least *two* days in his life that he's been brain dead.
I suspect it was because he’s never read as many as three books.
One too many “doobies” before the show, but probably near brain dead anyway.
"Too cool for school."
Udall is a Progressive. He is brain dead every day.
Definitely the Bible. Second I'd say The Iliad. Third one has a lot of possibilities - but I would have to go with Shakespeare's plays.
Those are basic building blocks of civilization, no question.
Bastiat is excellent but very specialized.
Friedman and de Tocqueville, yes and yes.
I thought about Lewis - but before I'd put Mere Christianity I would plump for his volume of the Oxford History of English Literature. That demonstrates his complete and total grasp of not only the literature of the 16th century, but all the historical and religious underpinnings that supported it. Either that, or The Discarded Image . . .
Yup...that is the way it works these days.
