   No fun there. Ol' Zooey went off on a somewhat obscene rant and was barred   
   from the chambers. The supporters showed up, had a demonstration, and were   
   arrested. Zooey's 'office' for the rest of the term was a bench out in the   
   hall. A calmer approach may have worked better.   
      
   The state legislature only has a session not longer than 90 days on odd   
   numbered years so there's a limited window for comic relief, unlike DC.
