I'm sitting here wondering what to post and Claudia sends me this gem.
It seems some of the new congressmen don't need no stinkin' rules. This is from a Yahoo story.
.... the two Republican lawmakers — Mike Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania and Pete Sessions of Texas — missed their swearing-in ceremony on the House floor. They subsequently cast six votes each that House Republicans later had to nullify.
Where were they? Depends on who you ask. The dems say they were at a fund raiser. The repubs say it was just a gathering. And then....
Fitzpatrick was among dozens of members of Congress who helped read the Constitution aloud on the House floor on Thursday ....
So without being sworn in these two guys were just a couple of bums off the street filling in for real congressmen that were to lazy to read (and vote). (I think I got that right. Let's vote on it.)
If you want to read the whole story it's right HERE.

So everyone voted abstain.
I was going to filibuster, but my fingers got tired.
