109th Congress

[SFGAm Rules]

Tomorrow in Washington, DC the new congress will start. Coverage is always live on C-SPAN for the House and C-SPAN 2 for the Senate.

The senate will vote on approval of cabinet and judge nominations.

A joint session of congress will vote on approval of election results.

Here is a topic to discuss and debate decisions made by the congress.

I used to watch C-SPAN a lot during the summer. I think I'm going to start watching again. If you watch Congress for about 5 minutes you catch onto what they're talking about and it's interesting stuff.

Uhhh. Now where is my "I'm with idiot" smilie when I need it.

LOL, I'm just kidding. I don't think this is really the target audience who would be watching that kind of stuff.

[The Beast]

Yes, yes...I just watched for 5 minutes when I was really bored and turned out to be entertaining. But uh, I don't plan on watching them getting sworn in or whatever. It's only cool when they do point-counter-point on stuff that is really out there.

American politics is boring. its too civilized for my liking

New Zealand Politics, now thats some good stuff. (i dont expect many to get that, since not many people were born in NZ.)

I like watching the British Parliament scream at Tony Blair

You've got to love Barbara Boxer. Finally some one gives Condolezza Rice the tough questions. What's the response?

"I really hope that you will refrain from impugning my integrity."

Well maybe if they let he speak at ALL she might be able to respond. She just sat there for over 15 minutes asking "May I speak now?" after each alligation and they would not let her respond. Even the majority leader wouldn't let her speak. What a bunch of BS.

Divorce Court is so much better. "I want little Jimmy. He's mine!"
