primroseburrowsHmmm. Why didn't this register on my radar?.
Not that I mind a bit, because I like Arlen Specter. I wonder why he became a Democrat and not an independent, though, because he pretty much doesn't tow the party line for either camp. Which? Is why I like him. But it's all good, because now the Dems are almost filibuster-proof, and will be for real if/when Norm Coleman finally stops beating a dead horse .
In other news, I can sit sans meds without screaming this morning, but still very ow. *sigh* First physical therapy was yesterday. Craniosacral, mmmm, I like it. Hopefully it will help, because I hate Vicodin with the force of a thousand fiery pharmacists.
In still other news, Jack Layton is now following me on Twitter. I'm probably way more amused about this than I should be.

Date: 2009-04-30 02:23 am (UTC)He seems to be more independent than Democrat, though, so sure, he's doing it for expediency. But like you said, he's not a Republican pretending he's not, he's an independent making a choice. And that's okay with me. I really do like him, anyway, BECAUSE he has that independent streak. He's almost in the same league with my hero Lincoln Chafee, although I think Chafee is ideologically more of a Democrat than Specter. I think he didn't become one because of a lot of reasons, one being that his late father (an old-school GOP guy whom I also love) would roll over in his grave.
