Truly we live in interesting times. Today, we learned from a diary on dailykos by Sen. Russ Feingold, (or someone on his staff, at least) that the attempt to push a bill to extend the USA Patriot act was shelved until December. I haven't done an exhaustive search for it, but I don't see that making headlines anywhere, as of this moment.
I'm quite pleased about that outcome, so far, but I'm more intrigued by the implications of the "Senator as Diarist" concept. We have reached a point where participatory democracy works in a way it could never have worked before.
