I've been waging war on the rats coming into the chicken run and some are so bold as to even be out in late afternoon. I've used snap traps, plaster balls, an electronic trap and a live trap with varyiing results.
Filibusters in the United States are commonly found in the Senate when the minority party doesnât approve of a bill that was proposed by the majority party. Filibusters allow a specific person, or group of people, to speak for as long as they wish and may discuss any topic that they choose.
The longest uninterrupted filibuster on record belongs to South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond, who stopped a vote on a 1957 civil rights bill for 24 hours and 18 minutes. A filibuster is often an effort of several Senators, but can also be done by a single Senator. The only way to stop one is by invoking cloture  which forces a vote to take place. Cloture, adopted in 1917, used to require two-thirds of the Senate to agree to stop the talking.
