#1 Wasamatta, Ben? The "Bankrupt Bowl" spots were all sold out...?

#2 Predicted talking points:
1) I didn't vote for the bill, just for the closing of 'pointless debate', to allow the democratic process to proceed.
2) I bargained for the best deal possible for Nebraskans.
3) I will vote against the bill when it comes to the floor.
What am I missing?

#3 "Look, no one knows what's in a damn 2,000 page bill anyway, much less how it's actually going to work. So why shouldn't I get you guys some money out of this thing?"

#4 Hope the Jumbotron at the stadium has a heavy covering. If this piece of garbage gets shown there at halftime (paid for, of course, with OUR money), there'll be a massive load of beer bottles (at least) thrown at the screen.

Warning to sports bars everywhere....

#5 Barb, I don't think they sell booze at college games (it's been a while). But I would grant that there will be a chorus of BOO's which is kind iof like booze. ;-) I would wonder if it is possible to recall a senator? That would get thier attention in a hurry.

#9 it's here in San Diego. There's beer (usually til the start of the 4th qtr) and cocktails in the Stadium Club. The trick is to get hammered before you go in. It also helps that Ben's paid lie will only show in Neb., I think
