On the Fun Half: Sam had his long awaited debate with Austin Ruse of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute on whether or not Lesbians should be allowed on TV, Republican Congressman Mike Grimm threatens a reporter after the State of the Union, and your IMs.

And keep the conversation going on our morning thread
