I heard they watched Sex and the City together and didn't get around to talking about the VP job.

They decided to wager the VP slot on a tournament of beer pong, bowling, basketball and RoShamBo.

Only problem I hear is that the had a heard time agreeing on how many cups per bounce and whether or not the blowing rule was in effect. This was settled with a good old-fashioned game of quarters.

Odin: the rules are clear, a bounce is two cups and the blow rule is only in place for women.

I figured they just planned their post-election vacation (Barcelona? Provence? Florence?). Oh wait... that's me.

They didn't really meet. This was all invented by Howard Dean to promote party unity as well as to test our ability to manipulate the media.

Nicolette: The immutable laws of beer pong say that the ball must travel directly into the cup with out a bounce. A bounce lessens the challenge (and also can be swatted away) so is best used when your opponent is caught unaware.

I call shenanigans on your rules.

I have actually never heard of this "cap and dividend" thing before. But it sounds cool - you essentially get paid to produce less emissions than the average America, and pay if you produce more.

From the Augusta Chronicle: GOP hopes Chambliss keeps seat

The chairman of the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee says Sen. Saxby Chambliss will be a key part of the firewall the party wants to build against stronger Democratic control of Congress.
Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., set a floor on the number of Senate seats the party must control: 41.

"The number that we get to is really, really important in the U.S. Senate," he said. "That's one of the reasons Saxby absolutely must hold his seat."

Wow! If the deep red state of Georgia is their "firewall," Republicans are fucked.
