No doubt Kirk is checking out which arm bands he's going to take with him to Warshington. Bet it's that red one with the broken cross. Yeah, that's the one.

Rep. Kirk (my congressman) is more liberal than many Democrats. According to www.vote-smart.org, these are some of Rep. Kirk’s latest interest group ratings: Planned Parenthood, 100%; AFL-CIO, 48%: ACLU, 45%; NAACP, 44%; NEA, B; Americans for Democratic Action, 35%; Gun Owners of America, F-; ACU, 58%.; and John Birch Society, 33%. Each of these ratings is for the latest year that is available, usually 2010 or ’09. None of them is a lifetime rating.
