2. Amazing work

later, when Reid does something we don't like and we're tempted to trash him, let's remember this day and how he stood up for American civil liberties.

11. Unfortunately, according to a story on Yahoo!, Frist

pulled a last minute maneuver so that he can bring up the matter at a later time. So I'm sure we haven't heard the last of this yet.

17. That's Murkowski from Alaska...

a common mistake to call us Arkansas. I have to say I'm very proud of Lisa on this one. Once Ted Stevens dies and her Alaska governor father is out of office, she might convert to our side or at least be a moderate or left-leaning Republican.

Frist changed his vote to be on the democratic side when it was obvious that the bill would be defeated. There was a reason for it, but I can't remember what it was.
