- Bruce Thompson was at the fannin county valentine party. He has only been on the job for 16 days.

The inflation number in December is 6.5%, but they pull out the energy, groceries, gas prices out of the formula. Most Americans are calling BS on the number.
- On top of inflation we have the debt ceiling. Have you noticed the democrats are saying casually that we are not going to risk the full faith in credit and we are just paying the bills.

A blue slip is a piece of paper that the senate judiciary committee uses to solicit views of the home state senators after a person is nominated to be a federal judge in their state. The states that have 2 democrat senators are doing real quick for Joe to fill.
