Jeffords, Kennedy, Kerry are mentioned in the AP story that's everywhere. Boxer is a pretty safe bet. Still looking for the rest.
Dayton had better be in there, otherwise Ima get pissed.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I find that copyediting link kind of inspiring, rather than funny. There's probably something wrong with that, right?

No chance of my senators being among the 13. Both are Republicans.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I'd like to think Hillary voted against, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I have a plan.
I missed the topic of this particular vote. Are you talking about the vote confirming her as Sec. of State?
'Cause if so, as far as I know, only Kerry and Boxer voted against her.
ION; It doesn't look like I got the job. But it would be nice to know one way or the other. So if somebody could just fukin call me and let me know, I can get on with my life.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oooh, congressional vote whitefont!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Thomash, we know 13 people voted against -- we just don't know which ones yet (and senate.gov hasn't posted the roll call, curse them.)

Here's a snippet from Yahoo news:
Twelve Democrats and independent James Jeffords (news - web sites) of Vermont voted against Rice. The Democrats included some of the Senate's best-known members such as Massachusetts Democratic Sens. Edward M. Kennedy and John Kerry (news - web sites), who was the party's presidential candidate in last year's election. Thirty Democrats voted for her.

Yeah, that's the same AP story that's everywhere. I'm becoming sadly obsessed with this, perhaps because work is irrititating me.
