U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn is back in the state scaring his town hall crowds with partisan and extremist claims about the current federal budget deficit.

According to the Tulsa World, Coburn, Oklahoma's junior Republican Senator, told an audience in Checotah today that the nation is nearing a "tipping point" when it comes to its financial solvency. Coburn, the newspaper reported, argues the nation has two or three years to turn things around and then, if not, well, it's all over. Spooky stuff, right?

The Giant Speedbump (a/k/a Sen. Tom Coburn)

I know we’re all following the presidential race quite closely, as we should be. But I did want to remind readers that on September 8, Congress comes back from summer recess.

You remember Congress, right? I know that formerly august body seems, well, dull, compared to the excitement of the Obama-Biden ticket but perhaps I can convince a few readers to spare a moment or two of attention for what is probably going to be the lamest of many lame duck sessions.

The Senate’s own “Dr. No” – Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) is personally holding up plethora of important legislation. The senator’s obstructionism has been detailed in the Washington Post, NY Times, Reuters, and the Wall Street Journal, among others.

Please, please, put any drinks down on the table, stop munching on breakfast and keep the keyboard safe as you peruse the program of the Republican National Convention.

The press release just hit my inbox and it's a laugh-fest.
