One of these days I will blog again. Not today =)

But here are a few links I have enjoyed today.

Senator Max Baucus, a Democrat from Montana spoke on the US Senate floor… drunk?

Sen. Robert C. Byrd

Found Here

He served in the House of Representatives from 1953-1959 and his current run the Senate began in 1959. This leads to a grand total of 56 years, 10 months, and 16 days. He broke the record previously set by Carl Hayden, the Democrat from Arizona who served in Congress from 1912 to 1969. That means Byrd and Hayden shared the halls of Capitol Hill for 16 years. Byrd, who turns 92 on Friday, has missed numerous votes this year due to bad health. But that has not kept him from casting more than 18,000 votes. Byrd is known in Congress for keeping a pocket-sized version of the Constitution and for his long, heart-felt floor speeches around the holidays. Byrd’s take on his record:

“I have strived to provide the people of West Virginia the best representation possible each of the 20,774 days which I have served in the Congress of the United States. The only way for me to close on this historic day is to say that I look forward to serving you for the next 56 years and 320 days!”

Please retire!!

Remember this?

Well guess what??

Hotair

Now, however, the CBO has determined that Social Security will run cash deficits next year and in 2011, and by 2016 will be more or less in permanent deficit mode.  Hot Air has exclusively obtained the summer 2009 CBO report sent to legislators on Capitol Hill but not yet made public, which shows that outgo will exceed income for the first time since the 1983 fix on an annual basis in 2010. (emphasis done by me)

I will call you whatever I want…

This makes me so furious.

HT Fox News

BRIGADIER GENERAL MICHAEL WALSH: Ma’am, at the LACPR.

SENATOR BARBARA BOXER, D-CALIF.: You know, do me a favor, could you say “Senator” instead of “ma’am”?

WALSH: Yes.

BOXER: It’s just the thing. I worked so hard to get that title, so I’d appreciate it. Yes, thank you.

WALSH: Yes, Senator.

The nerve of some people… Really?

Mind you, this is coming from the same lady (yes I just called you a lady) that called Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice… Madam

From Justified Right

Recall though when former Secretary of State Condolezza Rice was testifying before Senator Boxer two years ago. That was when Boxer dressed Rice down for having the nerve to be a childless woman who has the power to make decisions.

Few may remember that Boxer called Rice ‘Madam” three different times during that testimony.

Update from Canada Free Press: “Gawd, I really looked like a bitch!” exclaimed Mrs. Barbara Boxer — hmm That is exactly what I was thinking.
