After many requests (okay, two) from all over the country (my mom in Wisconsin and my sister in California), I am reviving the Angels & Assholes scorecard. Let’s start with yesterday’s vote to make English the national language. (S.2611, S.Amdt. 4064)
34 Angels voted NAY
63 Assholes voted YEA
3 Weasels failed to vote
For the brilliant suggestion that future communications from the government need not utilize a language spoken by millions of Americans,



For passing an amendment that – let’s not whitewash this – is brazenly anti-Hispanic




For shameless pandering to the xenophobic far right

For offering up a red herring to distract the public from the real issues
