Wednesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

Well, this is the big day for the House GOPers. They officially take control. Festivities begin at noon ET. We'll get the first speech from Speaker Boehner. I suspect we'll see tears. Lots of tears. Tomorrow, the House GOPers are going to read the U.S. Constitution from the floor.

The Senate also convenes today, but its first day of business won't conclude today. There will be a number of speeches about changing the rules on the filibuster and the notorious secret holds. Something has to be done -- but, it won't be done today. The Senate will be in recess until January 24th. That's when we'll probably learn what, if any, changes will be made. Just imagine if Senators actually had to stay on the floor to filibuster legislation. That should be the least of the changes.

And, we're still waiting to see what changes Obama is making to his staff at the White House.

Never dull...frustrating, annoying, but not dull.
