Robert Byrd Is Official Old Enough For A Superlative
Everyone very loudly but gently say "congratulations" to Sen. Robert Byrd, who became the longest-serving lawmaker in the history of Congress today. He's like, "I look forward to serving you for the next 56 years and 320 days," which is very gracious! Here's this video of Robert Byrd playing the ancient instrument of "fiddle" back in the 1870s, when people would watch other people do "fiddle" on teevee for enjoyment. It's like eight minutes long though, so just as with any old person thing, you can get away with turning it off after like 24 seconds and then saying that you love it. [ HuffPost ]
