First attempt at this. So, enjoy.
10:34 - Alexander has been going on about "the rights of the minority". Every bone in my body screams at this. The most hopeful thing I said when Barack Obama was elected was that I promise not to treat the defeated party in the way that we had been treated for the past 8 years. I'm sure eating my words now.
10:37 - Pelosi now. Stop puffing your chest. You're here to get things done - humility will go farther this early on.
I sure seem to have conflicting emotions about the current legislative process.
Biden is smelling his knuckles.
This is how live-blogs go, right?
11:01 - Barack Obama (paraphrased): "Now you say something nice about me. I said something nice about you."
11:10 - Senator Coburn is a TERRIBLE doctor. I'd rather be sick.
Tests are given so that you can have a CORRECT diagnosis. [Jesus, this bump KINDA looks like cancer, but it could be mumps. Either way, I'll just give you aspirin.]
2:20 - I'm back. Had to go learn more stata. But a friend pointed out this gem I missed.
2:55 - Paul Ryan: "we don't want gov't in control of this, we want people in control of this."
Government IS people, or have you lost your soul already? Government is not a building that walks around, smashing things. (Fill in the rest of the Lewis Black joke that I don't want to look up right now)
