Parliamentary procedure rules

Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) is owning the Republicans right now. While speaking, he used procedure to make a Republican object to passing an increase in the minimum wage, and subsequently an extension of unemployment benefits. He (Kennedy) also looks and sounds really pissed off. Not quite Sen. Byrd (D-WV) pissed off, but pissed off. And rightly so.

On a completely different note, while I love Thanksgiving, the Food Network becomes almost completely unwatchable unless you need another recipe for cranberry sauce, which I do not.

And finally, I'm backblogging old entries, so the archives are slowly taking shape. Hooray for August.
