Okay...friends...I hate to ASSume that Frist got bullied again...BUT,

Just a little while ago...he was saying that even though there would be no roll call votes (why?) tomorrow...the Senate would be in session to start debate on the Asbesto legislation...

I heard Reid get up with an inquiry...and, as posted above, the Coretta Scott King funeral was mentioned...

SOOOOOOOO..when Frist shut down the Senate a few minutes ago...and mentioned the next session would start on MONDAY afternoon....I figured that the funeral must be tomorrow, right????

Oh, no...because Frist then went on to say that the cloture vote on the Asbestos legislation would be at 6:00 PM on Tuesday..."late in the day, to accomodate those going to the Coretta Scott King funeral"!!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOOO...they just came back from CHRISTMAS RECESS this week...they are already taking TOMORROW OFF...and half of Monday...and most of TUESDAY...

OH>..and BTW...most of today was spent in a quorum call...which could mean NOTHING was getting done..and they just let these votes happen tonight without substantitive debate...SO THEY WOULDN'T HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW.

NOW...maybe, it is just me....but, I am really getting ticked at the LITTLE work that WE the citizens get to "participate" in...in our own little way, through C-span...

And, with the knee-jerk responses these guys have now days to any little thing...what will happen next to keep them from making the Patriot Act extended indefinitely???

Or...work for border control...or tax reform, or Medicare/Medicaid/Social Security reform...?????

RANT OFF

Till next week...
