The best review of last year I've seen yet, was in the Miami Herald, titled Dave Barry’s 2010 Year in Review.. After a brief introduction he takes you month by month through last years insanity. It's a must read if you follow the news, and like to laugh. Sure; he missed lampooning a bunch of very deserving people, but hell, you can only fit so much into a newspaper piece.
In DC the Democratic House Majority is History, with luck, Pelosi will get the chairmanship of the Ladies Restroom Toilet Supply Committee. The new Speaker of the House, John Boehner has promised to open the 112th|Session of the US Congress with a reading of the Constitution. Something that's never been done before.
The reading is being seen as largely symbolic, democrats and establishment career republicans are expected to use the time to catch up on missed sleep. They learned years ago all they really have to read is their key donor list.
Another rule Boehner is expect to announce is a requirement that all new legislation reference the laws justification in the Constitution. The Washington Post and liberal pundits say this is nothing more than a gesture to shut up the TEA Party People If I use history as a guide, they are probably correct.. Toss the dogs a bone and they'll quit growling at you.. I expect an all inclusive rubber stamp the mentions the Taxation, Commerce and Necessary and Proper Clauses.
