Ah the first day of a new congress. Full of hope like the first day of school, except the immaturity starts leading to devolution immediately.
Still there are some awesome things.
Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis, first openly gay Senator.
Some moving things, like Senator Mark Kirk, R-Ill being returning to the Senate from a major stroke.
Of course, there were tears, but there are always tears.
