Why not shorten the Senatorial holiday? Doesn’t the attempted Christmas bombing warrant a vote on the proposed head of the TSA–an individual who has already received bipartisan support from two committees?

And, so what if Sen. DeMint (R-SC) is up in arms about the potential unionization of the TSA? Who cares that he is threatening to filibuster? We should let him. Why? Because filibustering this appointment, to refusing to allow an up or down vote to filling this crucial security position is making our nation unsafe. One might even consider it being soft on terror.

Unionization-puhleez! I didn’t know that it had prevented the first responders on 9/11 from acting. Oh, and Sgt. Munley’s union rep must told her that she wasn’t supposed to get involved at Ft. Hood.

Sen. DeMint should get up to the podium and talk for as long as he can. If he keels over, well: it’s a good thing that his health insurance came with a public option. He’ll get good treatment! Far better than I would, that’s for sure.
