“Well, start waving and yelling, because it is the so-called Oxford comma and it is a lot more dangerous than its exclusive, ivory-tower moniker might suggest. There are people who embrace the Oxford comma and people who don't, and I'll just say this: never get between these people when drink has been taken. Oh, the Oxford comma.

“We don't have a caucus, because we differ on so many views. Some of us are pro-choice, some are not. We'll take the issue of drilling, for example: Lisa Murkowski would want to drill in ANWAR, Maria Cantwell, Barbara Boxer, and most of us would say no, and so we don't.

We just have drinks and talk about life and times.” WantFactsTogetherChoicesThreeViewsIssuesExampleMonthsDrinkDinnerTonightStaffBoxersGet TogetherDrillsLeaksBarbaraDrillingLife And TimeCaucusMemos Author:Barbara Mikulski
