It's Friday night. The end of the work week. I am here at home, Lee is at her last usher training for the Overture Arts center, and Olivia is sleeping peacefully (despite the train horn, and the lefty propaganda [aka: Maddow] on the radio).
Tomorrow, Lee and her Momma are going to Decorah, Iowa for Family Weekend at Luther College. Jack (aka: SPARK!!) is a big 'ol senior this year. This means: DADDY DAUGHTER DAY!!!! I am so excited to spend the whole day with the sweetest baby girl ever! I am looking forward to the walks, maybe another jaunt to the zoo, lot's of playing and squeaking.
Also, we are signed up to man the Obama table at the Willy Street Festival! Olivia is really upset that she can't vote for him, so to calm her anxiety about it, I have decided to help her get involved in any awy she can. ;)
Well, I am off to Gov Track.us to get some facts straight! It's a great web sight, more user friendly than the official Congress sight for sifting through our do nothing Congress's bills, votes, appointments, etc. Here's a little tidbit that only took me a few minutes to discover:
In 3 years, Senator Obama has Sponsored 120 bills, and Co-Sponsored 488= 608 bills, or an average of 202 a year.
In 15 years Senator McCain has Sponsored 473 bills, and Co-Sponsored 809=1282 bills, or an average of 84 a year.
A great answer to the ridiculous claims being made that Obama has done nothing as a Senator.
Anyway, have fun with it!
