I was watching ABC, then flipped around to NBC and CBS and Fox News Channel. There was early confusion on all the networks, even on Fox News...but then I got the CNN alert that said the mandate was "struck down". Tuned to CNN, and by that point even Anderson was trying to get to the bottom of it.

Good job. Unfortunately, I'm angling for a mug myself, so I don't have one to give. Bonus points I have, somewhere, in my Prize Closet. They are worth extra points on everything in my non-existent catalog. On Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 8:45 PM, wrote: > > I'd give you one, if I had an extra one. (Bo
