Sleep...or the United States Senate?

Seriously, this filibuster is like crack. Sen. Lautenberg (D-NJ) just finished delivering a slightly rambling (understandable at 2:00 a.m.) talk about what a waste of time the entire 38-hour "debate" is. I'm sure he realized the irony. As tempting as it is to watch the final six hours, I think I need to go to sleep. Otherwise I might start throwing things if Sen. Santorum (R-PA) comes back on. On the plus side, Jon Stewart made fun of him.

Oh, and I forgot this from a wire story earlier this week:

The lawmakers said the Pentagon's Defense Energy Support Center imports military fuel from Kuwait to Iraq for $1.08 to $1.19 per gallon, compared with the $2.65 per gallon that Halliburton charges the U.S. government under a no-bid Army contract.

Here is the full story. Thanks Josh for calling this to my attention.
