John Federman, the alleged senator from Pennsylvania, is apparently so incapacitated that Chuck Schumer

has formally changed the rules of the U.S. Senate to allow him to show up on the floor

in t-shirts and flip flops. Members of what was once called the greatest deliberative body in the

to the Constitutional Convention. Americans at our nation's height wore suits and neckties to

baseball games. It used to be fashionable to look respectable. What do you know? People used to

behave more respectably. Now it's fashionable to dress like a bum and what do you know? People
