2. I missed the end of it - just turned to CSpan and he's gone. Was he applauded?
Man, I'm exhausted FOR him.

4. I heard none.
Except that in my house.

Shame, shame on every Senator who did not stand with him.

11. Shame is right. And I've been posting this all day and will again - thanks go to
Mary Landrieu for her appearance there. I e-mailed her to express our gratitude.

26. I just checked out C-Span II on Internet...and he's on! Link:

Maybe he took a bathroom break and that's why it seemed he was "gone."

6. I've been glued to C-SPAN for the last five hours
I regret not hearing it from the start.

Senator Sanders gave me a little hope today.

8. I flipped over right at the end of Washington Journal and caught it from the beginning
Had to go out to buy new batteries for the truck, but other than that I've been glued to the TV all day. I've called my Senators and e-mailed all my friends to tell them to at least watch and listen.

10. 8+ hours of truth.
Seriously, when was the last time you saw that on Cspan. Or anywhere on TV for that matter.

12. I wasn't able to see it all.
Ran some errands, came back home and Bernie was still going at it. Amazing. I'm on truth overload.

32. It looks like Mark Begich is one of eight Democratic senators
who signed a letter opposing the Obama-GOP bill and offering an alternative extending the tax cuts for those who make less than $1 million per year.

I don't know if there's enough opposition to stop Obama and his fellow neocons, but I hope there is.

Regardless, Obama is a lame duck president as far as I'm concerned. If the Democratic party decides to stick with Obama in 2012, then they can have him. I'm done with him.

40. The truth does have a certain ring to it.
I'll admit I don't always know when I'm being lied to, but I know the sound of truth.
