Bag of Randomness

  • We ate at Babe’s recently and noticed something new and cute.  On the ceiling are a bunch of stuffed ducks set to appear as if they are looking under water.
  • Yesterday may have been the coldest I ever been in DFW, especially the morning.
  • I’ve had a head cold for the past ten days and just can’t shake it.
  • I was a huge fan of Goog411 and was sad to see it go, but Bing 411 is a fantastic substitute.
  • Anything cuter than a cross-eyed opossum?

GOP Rep. Wants to Enclose Congress in Plexiglas

An aide to Rep. Dan Burton (R-Ind.) tells CBS News that the Indiana Republican plans to introduce legislation next week that would encase the House Gallery in “a transparent and substantial material” such as Plexiglas that would keep members of the public from being able to throw explosives or make other attacks on members on the House floor.

Burton has introduced similar legislation in the past. It reads in part, “The Architect of the Capitol shall enclose the visitors’ galleries of the House of Representatives with a transparent and substantial material, and shall install equipment so that the proceedings on the floor of the House of Representatives will be clearly audible in the galleries.”
