Politics-wise. Oh, they got past that Reid-can’t-read-the-Constitution thing on the Soros food bill and there’s mutterings that START’s going to start up again before the end of the 111th Congress – and thank GOD that this Congress is almost over, huh? They did everything except jam a fork into an electrical socket. Anyway, despite all of that it’s been kind of slow today… which I can’t say that I’m too worked up about, but it’s still cutting down on the free ice cream.
Maybe folks should catch up on their movies?
“They did everything except jam a fork into an electrical socket.” … Yet.
“They did everything except jam a fork into an electrical socket.”…
So why does Nancy Pelosi constantly look like she’s holding on to said fork?
Best argument for outlawing “lame duck” sessions: . It might easily happen that the Members of the House of Representative, upon whom devolved the solemn duty of electing a Chief Magistrate for 4 years, had themselves been repudiated at the election that had just occurred, and the country would be confronted with the fact that a repudiated House, defeated by the people themselves at the general election, would still have the power to elect a President who would be in control of the country for the next 4 years. It is quite apparent that such a power ought not to exist, and that the people having expressed themselves at the ballot box should through the Representatives then selected, be able to select the President for the ensuing term. . . .
