Full disclosure: I read a post from another blogger who chronicled what she would talk about if she was the recent New Jersey senator who filibustered for 25 hrs.
As explained, there’s rules during a filibuster: “you can’t leave your desk area, you have to keep speaking for the entire time (unless you yield the floor to others to ask questions), you can’t go to the bathroom, you have to remain standing, and the only liquids allowed on the floor are tap water, sparkling water, and milk.”
Here’s my take if ever presented the opportunity to filibuster for a lengthy amount of time (because it’s so possible in my line of work) –
1. Read my entire 470+ page dissertation, complete with a detailed explanation of every graph, chart, and figure.
2. Demonstrate every known Pilates and yoga exercise.
3. Enunciate every word ending in -th in the KJV Bible.
4. Recount, then promptly forget, every historical sexual partner. This is hilarious, Kel.
And now I’m just writing random crap on here to see who actually reads these posts because I know it will garner some comments. On that note, I’m done.

I ask you –
Were you aware of the 25 hour filibuster?
What would you share, if it was you on the senate floor?
…I’d like to request coffee be added to the list of available beverages…
