A BUZZFLASH NEWS ALERT
by Meg White

A letter signed by all 41 Senate Republicans was sent to the White House and Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Patrick Leahy yesterday in which the GOP demanded inclusion in, and ultimately veto power over, the confirmation of the president's judicial nominees.

The demand was a sharp turn-around for Republicans, who had for the past eight years been calling for the swift confirmation of then-President George W. Bush's appointees.

4. And maybe both sides should stop.
At least President Obama has been making legitimate strides.

You're funny too. Though I say that prematurely; you've yet to make any funny jokes.

12. I know liberals who want a one party system - of course, there are idiots on both sides of the aisle
I just want Americans to work together and have real compromise. BIG difference.

10. It is about running a country,
just not with the same crew that ran it off the rails the past eight years.
