A survivor unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

(Inspired by a comment from Clancy DuBos at today's Rising Tide)

Ash: You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility.
Lambert: You admire it.
Ash: I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality.

Where's Ripley to shove this "thing" out an airlock?

UPDATE- A few more things to add:

Peripatetic Engineer notes the rare appearances by Louisiana congressmen.

The Times-Picayune runs a cover story about David Vitter's town halls. Too bad they were punked. Cenlamar (nice job on the politics panel, BTW) points out the panelist questions were prescreened and the only questions Vitter faced were softballs. This has caused the Dems to file an ethics complaint against David Vitter for misuse of taxpayer funds. David Vitter can hold his screeds against Obamacare all he wants, but he can't use taxpayer funds to attack Charlie Melancon.

I applaud Joseph Cao for being the only Louisiana congressman to at least look like he's interested in representing all his constituents.

UPDATE 2- General Honore to run against Vitter? "All he has to do is say, 'Stuck on Stupid' once and Vitter is toast," said one state GOP official.
