I don't have a lot of time today, because I'm heading up to see moe. in concert after work. But I thought I'd call to your attention a pretty funny WaPo article about the Republicans' anti-filibuster filibuster. One excerpt I particularly enjoyed:
12:45: Up in the press gallery, somebody has put a six-pack of beer on ice, creating a quandary for those reporters who are still awake: If they drink a beer, they could doze off and miss some of this scintillating debate. If they don't drink a beer, they have to watch the debate stone-cold sober.
WaPo requires registration, which I admit is both bogus and sad. But in this case, I think it's worth it. Party on.

according to this article it probably should've been Stout.
But then where does that leave Root Beer?

But somehow, I can't imagine even the thickest stout helping me get through a 39-hour filibuster to protest an upcoming filibuster. I'm reminded of Jon Stewart: "Do you ever not like Democracy?"
