Hello, Senator Newman

The following link provides a fascinating history of the oath of office for incoming United States Senators.

However, rumors are rampant that the oath will be altered for the first time in over a century at the swearing in of our newest Senator, Bonnie Newman, R-New Hampshire (see title of this post for the revised oath).

Senator Newman's family has a long history of public service. A distant cousin of the new Senator evidently had a long, albeit undistinguished career at the United States Postal Service.

Episode 88 - The Big Salad

Elaine & Jerry are discussing Newman

Elaine: Perhaps there's more to him than meets the eye.
Jerry: No, there's less.
Elaine: It's possible.
Jerry: No it isn't. I've looked into his eyes. He's pure evil.
Elaine: He's an enigma, a mystery wrapped in a riddle.
Jerry: Yeah, he's a mystery wrapped in a Twinkie.
