Just Got Home, Leaving Again Tomorrow

But boy am I glad to find out that - so far - the AWB is going to die. They still have time before September to try to ramrod an extension or expansion through as an amendment on something critical, but it looks like it's going to croak on schedule!

My Senator, Kyl, isn't too bad. But McCain's GOTTA go.
