Seriously, what is the dimming of the lights about? Is it the outside lights or the inside lights? Is it to promote the feeling of secrecy?
well, you can't have a Star Chamber if you can't see the stars, right?

It's the soft romantic music they pipe in, that I find a little weird.

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

The dim lights are so you can't see the majority and minority leaders doing a slow waltz together.

Well good on Harry. I'm sort of aghast that there hasn't been more concern that we went into a freaking war based on something that has turned out not to be true.

You know what I hate? When I send out an email with typos (I got interrupted mid-edit and thought I'd finished) and it comes back to me in a reply. I really don't need to see it again!

I was aghast that we re-elected a president that brought us into a freaking war based on something that has turned out not to be true. More than aghast, really.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"The United States Senate has been hijacked by the Democratic leadership," said Majority Leader Bill Frist. "They have no convictions, they have no principles, they have no ideas," the Republican leader said.
Fuck you, Fristy. This was a principled action. Your inability to recognize it as such is the problem.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Frist knows that. He was just making a sound bite. And you know, not a dumb idea on his part. How many news shows will air his sound bite sans context compared to how many will air Reid's?

I'm not sure that "turned out" is the phrase I'd use.
