Finally. The Senate is back in session this week, and I have to say I missed those guys. It's also a lot easier to keep track of a Senator when you know he's going to be at work.
This week was a challenge, as Sen. Kerry just couldn't seem to stay in one place. The Senator was in Massachusetts for part of the week, meeting with mayors and speaking at Harvard on climate change. He was on the radio with Big Eddie and BlogTalk, and on the ground rallying the troops for Obama in Nevada. He blogged at TPM, wrote to the Secretary of the Interior on the polar bear crisis, wrote to the president of Amtrak about their contract negotiation, and released a statement about a planned investigation (that he had requested in March) into an immigration raid in New Bedford.
Whew.
I understand Sen. Kerry's in South Carolina this morning before heading back to DC, where there should be some interesting hearings on tap, including a two-parter in Finance on the proposed economic stimulus package. I also expect, but haven't yet seen, Senate plans to join the House regarding the administration's attempt to sell off part of the polar bear habitat.
A happy thought to leave you with, there are only 364 more days of the Bush Administration. I hope we make it.
Enjoy the news.
