FIRST "OZ" GETS CANCELED, AND NOW THIS...: Congress earlier this week approved the Prison Rape Elimination Act of 2003, a bill designed to eliminate what has long been a defining feature of prison life. The new law is expected to immediately end the career of comedian Norm MacDonald*.
The bill passed both houses of Congress unanimously, which means that yes- even Rick Santorum voted for it.
(*Though on second thought, if there's any truth to some rumors I've heard about the Kobe Bryant case, this may in fact be in its infancy as a joke phenomenon...)
