Now, last week Bill posted a little something about Frank’s intentions and I teased him because he too gave Frank a promotion to Senator. Now, Bill just made a (quickly-corrected) boo-boo in a post, and besides, he lives in exotic Gibraltar and floats above our petty politics. Shulman actually calls Frank a “US Congressman” who chairs a House committee…and then refers to him as “Senator” the rest of the way. Shulman is identified as the “Card Player Resident Legal Expert”. Uh huh. [...] [...] Sigh. Now, last week Bill posted a little something about Frank’s intentions and I teased him because he too gave Frank a promotion to Senator.

Frank is a member of the House, not the Senate! He's also the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, which would make him a very good guy to have in our corner.

Unfortunately the good news maybe short lived because the idea that he and I hold the same position on any issue maybe a sign of the apocalypse. Either way it's a very interesting development.
