Congress Iraq Resolution

The Senate failed to pass the House's non-binding resolution that denounces President Bush's order to send more troops to Baghdad.

Next up for the Senate: a new farm bill, where Congress states its support for family farmers by prohibiting people from entering the farming industry or from growing food.
-OR-
But the Senate did pass, 98-0, a resolution denouncing Britney Spears' behavior.
-OR-
Dammit! That's just what the general public asked for when its Election Day votes conveyed a non-binding denouncement of Bush's war policy--for Congress to vote on a non-binding resolution denouncing Bush's war policy, but "with more flair!"
-OR-
However, Al-Qaida announced that it was flattered just to have garnered Harry Reid's support.

New Orleans Curfew

The City of New Orleans is considering a curfew in response to eight murders in the past week.

Even if it doesn't stem the violence, it will assure that the Saints are well rested for their playoff game next Saturday.

OR

Sounds like a good idea. Curfews have been a big success in Baghdad....
