Nader and Shockey

Silly post, but there are two major happenings this week that I haven't talked about.

1.

Ralph Nader was in the Rotunda today in a speech about how Bonus-gate affected his campaign in 2004 (Democratic staffers on taxpayers' time worked to keep him off the ballot) and how he's gonna sue Veon and DeWeese and all those fun people for all his court costs. But yeah, first time I was ever this close to a presidential candidate so I'm pretty excited. We also got to play in the Speaker's library today -- he has one hell of an office.

2.

Jeremy Shockey finally got traded to the New Orleans Saints (2nd and a 5th rnd. draft pick). Super disappointed that the three-way deal where we would have gotten Jason Taylor feel through, but I'm happy for the salary cap room and ecstatic that he won't be dragging down the team after his off-season hysterics.
