I turn 25 years old today.

Twenty-five.

Seriously.

I can totally rent a car now.

That's the only benefit I've found so far, but let me know if there are more.

But, even better than that is the fact that we have just 11 days left, and I'm going to do the unthinkable:

I'm going to ask you all for a present.

I'm going to ask you all for money.

A legislative office created to examine the benefit of public programs was ready to give its report Thursday on the state's mental health services. Anyone could tell from the title "Compromised controls and lack of focus hampered implementation of enhanced mental health services" it wasn't full of compliments.

A chairman of the committee, Sen. Fletcher Hartsell of Concord, said the report was taken off the agenda because the committee didn't have time to talk about it.

Repugs don't agree with the new 5-day work week. Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) got called out on Fox News of all networks, by John Gibson and the following exchange took place:

Gibson: Don't you think that maybe part of the reason the Republicans were fired is the public heard about this?

Kingston: I think its because we didn't perform. When we were up here we were naming bridges and post offices. We were not having quality time again…—We drifted, we got off our agenda. We came up here and some weeks we just twiddled our thumbs and that's what killed us…

Poor Robin might actually have to start working for the people he represents. Bummer.
