It's been interesting to see the political reactions to what's becoming known as "The Mother of All Bailouts." The Bush Administration's proposal to spend what many believe will be at minimum a $1,000,000,000,000 bailout of the nation's financial sector has split Idaho's Congressional delegation. Rep. Mike Simpson's for it, Rep. Bill Sali's against it, and the other night, I had a dream about a confrontation between the two in the halls of Congress (a clear indication I need to stop having a nightcap before I go to bed). With apologies for my lame attempts at comedic license, it went something like this/Scott Picken. More here.
