I guess Senator Kerry likes his job a lot. He'd have to, I suppose, to finish up a week in Pakistan, India, Afghanistan and Turkey with a trip to Texas to talk about a veterans' hospital and to campaign for Obama. Personally, if I were stranded in the mountains of Afghanistan, I'd have to take a week off to recover when I got home.
I don't think the Senator will be doing that, though. The Senate is back this week, and he's got whales to save and an administration to battle. And several interesting hearings. Finance looks good on Tuesday, and the SFRC is meeting on Thursday to discuss Pakistan's elections. A couple hearings on 2009 budgets scattered throughout the week, too, which might be a good time for a nap if it weren't for the ever-present eye of C-SPAN.
Lots of news this week. Enjoy.
