This was an interesting tidbit covering the recent Congressional debate on off-shore drilling:Historic House Protest Is Actually HistoricFrom the article:
Wallis, who has been looking into the issue, said that he has not found any examples of members forgoing their summer break to continue debating. The closest anecdote he could find was a noisy sit-in, staged in November 1995 by Democrats who were protesting a government shut-down due to a disagreement between then Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) and former President Bill Clinton.
Has anyone heard an update as to whether or not they actually did keep debating?
I still think they're waiting on an answer from Ms Speaker. It's just the Republicans working now last I heard.
All quiet on the spill front ?Even from Sarah Palin ? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8621108.stm I've found the following article about the "Katrina's Obama" quite interesting, what do you think ? http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/10/opinion/10krugman.html
