Text message I sent to Loogar yesterday:

"Dern, Ted Stevens shoulda known better than to fly Ron Brown Airways"

And now we lost Rosty, too.

No, apparently now actually means no. It's a sad day in America.

Say goodbye to Net Neutrality. The Senate will move tiered internet service to the Pres's desk, & Obie'll sign it, as a tribute to this great man, Stephens.

The World's Greatest Deliberative Body is nothing if not self-congratulatory. & it really is nothing but that.

(See re-branding HCR as the Ted Kennedy Act, the white-washing of Strom Thurmond's & Robert Byrd's early life, etc.)

I suppose this guy did right by his state by bringing in fed money to his state but this guy is a poster child for term limits.

Oil shill to the end and at times, public enemy #1 to the environment.

Not to mention a complete curmudgeon and poster child for GOP's current philosophy of "NO!"

Easy with that term limits shit -- it's his JOB to bring shit to his state.
