they'll get Cheney to declare the filibuster unconstitutional
I think we should require proof that Cheney's actually read the Constitution before he can do this. There could be a quiz and everything.
Seriously, though, doesn't the Supreme Court have the final say on whether something's unconstitutional?
Frank Gorshin died. R.I.P, Riddler! (His last filmed appearance is on this Thursday's CSI, if you're interested.)
Hey, that's my husband! Hi!
(yes, I'm stupidly happy to see him- It's like running in to him unexpectedly at work!)
The real trouble with the nuclear option is that it destroys the only hiding spot for moderates within the republican party. When it becomes a straight up/down vote on every issue, then the swing voters have a lot more pressure on them. Because, like, they might swing. Actually, looked at from another angle, it gives the moderate Rs a lot more power, doesn't it?
Watch: soon road projects in Maine and Arizona will be funded. They'll change their minds about closing the Portsmouth Shipyard. It'll be a whole big bribery thing.

There's a passport season?
Well, it's spring, and I'm assuming that people are planning vacations for the summer. Either that, or this city has been ordered to evacuate to Canada and nobody told me, because there were a hell of a lot of people there getting passports.
Of course the Republicans are backing off the term "nuclear option". Since it's a product of this administartion, we all know it was really a "nuke-yular option" that was referenced.
Jesse, don't laugh at me. Just tell me where to get the paper.
I don't know where, is the problem.
