The shirt I'm wearing today is red, for the bill we're debating. Communist Red!

Alaska gives us the funniest congresspeople.

4. DeFazio just called the repugs on defending Welfare Queens

10. Pearce, NM trying to refute him
he said that bottled water is more expensive per barrel than oil. Go after the water companies.

But Mr Pearce - Do those water companies get the subsidies, tax breaks and royalty free extracton deals, I ask?

11. And you know what?
I'm a woman, and I don't even mind you saying that. :evilgrin: He is beyond pathetic. I worked very diligently for his Democratic challenger, Diane Benson, in this past election. Even with no national or corporate support, she still gained over 40% of the votes here. Many, many of us are sick to death of this asshole. He really gives Alaskans a bad name.

Hugh Laurie just won a Golden Globe, and a well-deserved one at that.

17. The House of Representatives is on C-SPAN 1 and the Senate is on C-SPAN 2.
If you get the Network, you should tune in. It's very entertaining to watch the politicians 'in action.'
