What these people call a "filibuster" has no resemblance to the original filibuster, which required nonstop public speaking in the legislative chamber. I never understood why they got away with transferring that name to the lazy, gutless hidden maneuver which is currently misnamed the "filibuster."

If you feel we can't, perhaps you can have Moscow Mitch for a week, and I'll take Raffy...then we can switch. Seems fair.

Depending on other DUers wanting in, and the potential addition of other troglodytes, we might end up with a fantasy league, with Draft Day and everything. This could be exciting!
