Ask Me Anything Friday 7/1

We're halfway through the year, heading into a red-white-and-blue patriotic three-day weekend, so what better time for the festivities of Ask Me Anything Day?

Leave your questions in the comments to this post, and I will do my best to answer with posts throughout the day, with facts, estimates, guesses, rumors, predictions, and wildly irresponsible innuendo.

Speaking of July 4th: please take photos of any pols spotted at patriotic events all weekend, and post them to Twitter with the tag #twitpicparade!

I look forward to your questions.
