I was reading USA Today at lunch and they are in full yellow-journalism mode on the background check bill, with a dishonor roll of the folks who voted against the bill.
I made the mistake of forgetting that a trick a leader of the yeas can do is to vote against the bill if you're going to come up a bit short, since a no-voter can ask to reconsider the bill later. Dirty Harry did just that, but it's a trick that folks in both parties do on a regular basis, so it's not as sneaky as it sounds.

When you get one toxic letter, false alarms are the order of the day. Saginaw had a scare when Sen. Levin's field office there has a supicious package that proved benign. That's just a half-hour away from us, so that was a bit spooky.
