Lame-Duck Filibuster!

Proving my saying that “gridlock is our only hope,” Mitch McConnell throws a 42-vote Republican filibuster into the path of Democrats’ lame-duck agenda (see McConnell and Jon Kyl’s letter to Harry Reid in PDF format) unless Democrats permit a vote to extend the Bush tax cuts.

Wherein a Democratic senator complains that the agenda of Senate Democrats is un-democratic: Via Hot Air and the Daily Caller. Sen. Bennett has discovered Hall’s Iron Law of Leadership: There are people who make lists, and there are people who are on lists. Bennett’s not a list-maker, so he’ll vote the way he’s told and […]

As of yesterday, the campaign had received requests from 232 media outlets. That includes 35 television cameras […]

Greetings from Bristol, Va.

Please excuse the 24-hour absence of bl0gging, and thanks to Smitty and Wombat for producing excellent content in my absence.
