Rules committee compromise

It's all settled now in the grand compromise as to the seating of the Michiganders and Floridators at the DemNatCon this summer in the Mild High City, but some may still be wondering what a half a delegate can do. Some of the details are yet to be worked out, but it is certain:

* They will have to share chairs to be seated.
* Tin snips will be available at the door for them to cut their buttons in half.
* They can only hold up one half of a sign.
* Just like in Utah, they can only drink one-half of a martini at a time.
* In negotiations with strollers on Colfax, they should not ask for "half and half." Just half.
