And now two years of suck

Ah the first day of a new congress. Full of hope like the first day of school, except the immaturity starts leading to devolution immediately. Still there are some awesome things. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis, first openly gay Senator. Some moving things, like Senator Mark Kirk, R-Ill being returning to the Senate from a major stroke. Of course, there were tears, but there are always tears. [cross-posted at Firedoglake]
