Filibusterheadopen

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.

all I want to know is, what kind of beer was it?

according to this article it probably should've been Stout.

But then where does that leave Root Beer?

Hey, that's great news! I'm suddenly a major proponent of flavonoids.
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?"
