Steve, I love the logic of those supporting the draft. Force our youth to enlist so that more people will come out against the war. Maybe Rangel should force his constituents to pay more taxes so that they can come out in support of tax cuts. Tenchusatsu P.S. - Watch now as some self-proclaimed "moderate" claims that I'm comparing service in the military to "garbage collecting" ...

RE:"you better hurry and sign up for your brother Rangel's draft! cnn.com The Selective Service System, an agency independent of the Defense Department, says it's ready to respond quickly to any crisis that would threaten to overwhelm the current all-volunteer military." I'd go if I wasn't too old but Ted and Cliff are probably prime draft age and lord knows we need more teachers in the Army.

A bush in the making? From the Congressional Daily: Sali Forth New beginnings have their awkward moments, and this week's congressional leadership elections are no exception. But the sight of Speaker-elect Pelosi clasping hands in victory with her rival, Majority Leader-elect Hoyer, was not the only gawky episode Thursday. Earlier that day, freshman Rep.-elect Bill Sali, R-Idaho, showed up a day early and in the wrong place -- the Democratic Caucus meeting. Sali, a goateed, conservative state legislator whose reputation for political combat preceded him to Washington, said he was following the schedule provided to him by the House Administration Committee, and so headed to room 345 in the Cannon House Office Building after attending a prayer breakfast. "They'd been very good until then," Sali said of the committee. The committee couldn't confirm the mix-up. A spokesman for the Democratic Caucus said Sali didn't gain access to the room but was treated cordially. "What's the word ... he was pleasantly redirected," said a Caucus spokesperson. It must have been in a general direction. "I asked the Democrats where the Republicans were meeting, and they didn't know," Sali said. -- by Peter Bell If they had only pointed Billy-boy towards the Potomac, we could've discovered if he can swim.
