Mary Katharine Ham has an excellent round-up of the first 18 hours of the Democratic Congress. For the literary challenged, she also offers the abridged version:
2 Temper tantrums on the floor
1 loss on earmark reform that resulted in...
2 greatly embarrassed Democratic leaders
1 U.S. territory that won't have to pay the new minimum wage
5 relatives of Harry Reid's who have benefited from earmarks
Billions in potential savings due to more transparency on earmarks.
I was kind of bummed that I missed some of this stuff, but then I realized the temper tantrums have likely just begun.
