In The News:
Thanks to ChrisM, my MP3Angel, for supplying the commentary and news audio files this morning.

Lots got done in one day for a change as the House of representatives passes the $500 million dollar Border "Security" bill to fund 1,400 agents and two drones on the long-militarized Mexican border.
