Democrats are expressing support for President Obama’s new proposal to jumpstart healthcare reform ahead of this week’s White House meeting with the GOP, but some prominent lawmakers appear to no longer be betting all their hopes that comprehensive legislation will be enacted.
They are either talking up specific provisions of reform that could be approved individually, [...]

The NY Times reports that the “move underscores how $4-a-gallon [...]

There is something to be said for the healing properties of a little music, a lot of laughter, and excellent company. I’m still not a hundred percent, but I am feeling much better today than yesterday.
I’ve got two more nights of partying working ahead of me, so I should be feeling completely gang-busters by Sunday.
I [...]

Never one to do anything half-way, I am preparing to work for the next three days and still feeling like Mother Nature does not like me very much. But, the show must go on, as they say.
It kind of reminds me of what my grandmother used to tell me when I was young, “If [...]

When the only thing to be grateful for is small blessings, it only makes sense to be grateful in spite of that. Funny how far civic affairs have deteriorated, isn’t it?
The House was quiet as a mouse the day after Christmas. But across the Capitol, the Senate was operating in an unusually efficient manner in [...]

I’m up to my neck in gifts and candy canes and gift bags, right now. Every month I give away a limited number of goody bags to the troops and their families that come to my shows. But, I kind of went overboard because of the holiday. When you have an altruistic nature, it’s kind [...]

And, in turn, this weekend will kick-off the busiest time of year for my business, with several holiday parties planned straight into the middle of next month. As [...]

It’s only Tuesday, but this week seems to be dragging on and on.
You see, I have big plans, this weekend. A big date, if you will. What’s that you say, “But, Dizzy, you’re a married woman (gasp)! What will SSG Dizzy think?”

Senator Dodd’s threatened filibuster of the FISA bill “won a temporary victory” on Monday and ”forced Democratic leadership to push back consideration of a measure that would grant immunity to telecom companies that were complicit in warrantless surveillance.”
The measure was part of a greater bill to reorganize the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Earlier on Monday, the Senate, [...]

There’ll be no plum recess appointments for Bush cronies this holiday season, thanks to Harry Reid who’s taking the role of Scrooge to block Bush from serving up recess appointments over the holidays. This could really put a damper on Bush’s holiday giving. Instead of goodies in the cronies’ stockings they’ll be getting “lumps of [...]
