Blevins Does Superb Job on Senate Committee Assignments.

Really. This is not snark. President Pro-Tempore Patti Blevins has served up an almost ideal set of committee chairs/committees. Thank you, Senator. I have only two caveats before I heap praise on her: The Bond Bill Committee is too downstate-centric, IMHO. With the perceived conflict-of-interest on the SEU, Harris McDowell should not chair the Energy/Transit Committee. That's it. Here's what I like/love (in committee alphabetical order):

Chris Coons Does His Job. Tom Carper Doesn’t.

By Delaware Dem December 28, 201212 Comments

I want to thank Senator Coons for voting against the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act extension of warrantless wiretapping, otherwise known as the Repeal of the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Senator Carper voted for it like a true red conservative Democrat.

I don't have any recipes to share this year because I decided (after 20 years of cooking Christmas Eve dinner) to give myself a present and have tonight catered - nothing extravagant, just good food from a small local restaurant. I even went to Fulton's and purchased high quality disposable plates. I'm feeling a bit guilty, but extremely relaxed and am actually looking forward to being part of the celebration this year. I want to wish all our contributors and commenters a wonderful holiday and thank them for making DL a great place to hang out! So... what are everyone's plans? And if your cooking, feel free to share your amazing recipes!
