Reindeer 1 - Teddy 0

Poor Ted Stevens. Apparently the Democrats are really feeling their oats these days. They just shut down his beloved Arctic drilling bill. A defense appropriations bill (Ted knows where to stick his pork) failed to pass because of the oil drilling in Alaska wildlife refuge provision. And once again Bill Frist got stuck with some rebellious Republicans (Chafee - RI and DeWine - OH). Poor Billy just can't keep all of his ducks in a row. Looks like there are some folks up there who are actually trying to think for themselves Billy Boy.
