Actually there will be no Republican majority until 2011. (Election is November, 2010, but I knew what you meant, Kid)
Once more I am ashamed to be "represented" (and I use that term loosely) by Tom Harkin. It's time for that asshat to be sent back to his home in Puerto Wherever-the-hell-it-is-that-he-has-his-primary-residence, and retire.
Barring that, it's time for Tom's rope.
