Senator Jim Bunning is an asshole. Today he gave a reporter the finger, on camera! But the important thing about him is that apparently Vice President Smilin' Joe Biden does a hilarious impression of him.

Senator Richard Shelby will block all of Barack Obama's nominees until he gets his pork.

Fill-in-the-blank: "Four months ago, it appeared all but certain that the White House and Democrats in Congress would succeed in ___." If you guessed "cutting off private student loan sharks from the federal trough," you lose. Sallie Mae wins!

Scott Brown will be seated immediately upon certification. Al Franken had to wait a week.
