Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Evan Bayh is so totally my boyfriend. AND our next President!!

Can I have potato skins for lunch? I want them SO BAD.

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

Yikes. Nine people killed so far in the LA train derailment. One train struck a vehicle, then derailed and hit another train. They think the vehicle was left on the tracks intentionally.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

God I love Lautenberg.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Dear Schummer and Clinton - phhbbbbbbtttt!

I second that.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Which reminds me - I've been meaning to write Obama about all this Social Security nonsense that the administration's been spewing. I've never written a congressperson before? Any advice? I figure a nice snailmail letter is the best....

Nope. Email all the way, baybee. Snailmail gets hung up for at least a month because of security procedures. Anytime I need to send something to the Hill, I use FedEx or a courier if I can't email it.

As far as stylistic advice, be concise. Identify yourself as a constituent right away or your email won't even be read by an intern. Use facts to back up your assertations, and you'll be looked upon as the intelligent man you are, which will facilitate a response to your concerns.

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

Mark Dayton, D-Minn.

That's my boy.

Hmmm.

Sen. Coleman is being positioned to take a shot at the Repub nom in 2012 or so, provided the Bushes don't make their dynastic goal. I wonder if Dayton is pushing for the Dem nom?

I thought faxing was considered the best option, because emails tend to get ignored.

I had also heard that emails tended to be ignored, but this was several years ago (before all that anthrax stuff).

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Shame on Sens. Murray and Cantwell! Cantwell doesn't surprise me. But I expect a bit more principle from Murray.
