You can read it right here on Dome on Fridays. There'll also be a link on the side to the most recent one. Or you can bookmark this page.

So it's kind of like the Politico Playbook, but weekly? Question: how will is be different from Spin Cycle?
Look forward to reading, how do we sign up?

Puddle of confusion

"The practice of the gym is that the pool is only used by the male senators, but that's not the policy." So says Eva Malicki, a spokeswoman for the Capitol architect's office. So Kay Hagan should feel totally welcome splashing among her saggy, shaggy and quite possibly nekkid male colleagues? Confident that the hide-bound, hiearchically obsessed senior members won't take it out on her sooner and later?

Policy or no, the practice of the Senate gym is repugnant, and your snark in this instance might be better aimed at those who've earned it.

Hey Dome! SEE if you can find and land an interview with Obama's KENYAN granny! THAT is the interview that millions of Americans would like to see. SHE needs to CLARIFY her previously claimed presence at Obama's KENYAN BIRTH!

Wouldnt it be great if Obama allowed her to speak about this from the official podium? He doesnt have the guts.

WHY are all Obama's Kenyan visitors off limits to the press?

All he has to do is say a few words and it becomes evident. With ALL his business in Tennessee, he NEEDS to move there and run. Much of his donations come from the TN rednecks.

WHY does he THINK he is qualified? Is this the best the 'crackkks can produce?

shuler is a making a play for the appeal of the whole state for his run for senator 2010. Let me be the first to sound the warning folks, he don't have the well being of the citizens of the state in his heart. No more than the folks in his congressional district 11. He has massive polictical ambitions and don't care about who he rolls over to acheive them. Rember I said it first congressman, senator, president. thats a laugh

I didnt want to be the one to 'say it' ...lol...a girl named 'Island'?

Someone (DNC?) sent us a memo to PLEASE NOT name your children after Barack Hussein Obama.
(i.e. Obamaneika, Obamaneisha, Obamashonda, Barackonda,etc...)

Shuler must be competing with celebrities to see who can come up with the most unique name for their children.

mdougyr is correct. I believe that is Elaine Marshall being greeted by Perdue.

That is North Carolina Superintendent of Public Instruction June Atkinson, (not Elaine Marshall)whom in the photograph "looks on."
