Well I'm surprised, aren't you

Hey! A tip of the old walking stick to the new Senator from old Mass. Yep, he surprised everyone and voted his own mind. Now, he may not be overly welcome in the Republican lunchroom just now, and the Democrats are still picking their jaws up off the floor, but good for the new guy on the block. You may have been for that jobs bill or against it. Doesn't matter. The real news is that a U.S. Senator stood up for himself for a change. And for that we should all be proud of him. And he didn't even demand any pork and sauerkraut, with or without the kraut. Now if we could only get some more Republicans doing it, and some Democrats doing it. We'd have some honest government happening. Don't get me wrong, I like partisan politics, it gives me and a whole lot of other people, lots of material to talk about. And some folks will be foaming at the mouth over it, but I'm not worried. There are still lots of people in Congress who aren't getting the message. So they'll keep throwing wrenches in the works, and our country will keep on suffering because of them. Now don't you feel better?
