Jeff Rosenzweig: Stormy Monday, 1/12/15
New Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell man, it makes me queasy to type that will try to move authorization of the Keystone XL pipeline forward today after last weeks House vote to approve it.
Tuesday, Chris Christie takes a time-out from mourning his beloved Dallas Cowboys to deliver his State of the State address. Spoiler alert: the state of the state is rife with corruption, with the worst of it centered around 354 Stockton Street in Princeton. Governor Christie will likely avoid that topic, though, to concentrate on lying and blustering, the two things he does best.
Senate Democrats will be in Baltimore Wednesday and Thursday for their annual policy retreat (and no, I will not go for a cheap laugh here). Theyll be doing so without Minority Leader Harry Reid, whos still recovering from his recent injuries and remains in Washington on doctors orders. House and Senate Republicans, meanwhile, will gather in Hershey, Pennsylvania for a joint two-day retreat, presumably to synch up their respective ideas for destroying the country as efficiently as possible.
Wednesday at noon, the Londonderry Fish and Game Club in Litchfield, New Hampshire hosts a one-hour conversation on the Second Amendment with crackpot Senator Rand Paul, followed by a Q&A session where its pretty much guaranteed Senator Paul will not be asked pertinent questions like Why the hell do you think youre qualified to be President? and Whered you get that hair?
