Non-Paper Daily, 1.6.2009

*Roland Burris, the guy embattled Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich appointed to fill Obama's senate seat, was refused admittance into the senate today. On a funny note, he was supposed to attend meeting on Blagojevich's impeachment probe at the same time he is in DC, when asked how he would deal with that he said, "I'm the magic man." Give that man a seat!

*My head hurts.

*For about an hour today it snowed harder in La Grande than I can ever recall... just sayin'.

*A list of the Top 10 bills to be dropped (introduced) in the Senate and their summaries. It doesn't mean they will be passed in their current form, or that they will be passed at all, but for policy wonks it's a way to get an idea of what to expect in the first few months of Obama's presidency. Here's a quick review of what is there and what is missing.
