When Dinosaurs Roamed the Senate

Friday, October 11, 2002

• TITLE: "When Dinosaurs Roamed the Senate" The Discovery Channel has had a number of variants on this theme: " When Dinosaurs Roamed the Earth" being the kick off, and a series of "Walking with Dinosaurs" titles. Or, it might have been the other way around.

• "... McDermott ..." David Bonior, who accompanied McDermott has already been dealt with. He was the Democratic Whip in the House but stepped down from that post to run for Governor of Michigan. Because of that race he did not run for re-election to the House. Bonior lost in the primary so is out of a job and may have to return to the post he held prior to becoming a Member of Congress: Parole Officer.
