   Thanks for being here, and there was a party last night.
 

   Oh, yeah, a House party.
 

   In Washington, literally1, a House party. Democrats2, they’ve invited the Republicans, but the Republicans didn't really want to party with them last night. The health care reform bill passed, 220-215 was the vote, this is how it went down.

 

   "The yeas are 220, the nays3 are 215. The bill is passed."

 

   Well, the suspect in the Fort Hood4 massacre5 is doing better, we're told doctors have taken Major Nidal Hasan off a ventilator. Hasan was shot himself four times by a civilian6 officer, during that attack that killed 13.

 

   Also a march and a vigil are planned today in Cleveland, outside the home where the bodies of 11 women were found. The convicted sex offender7 who lives there is being held without bond, Anthony Sowell, you seeing him there.

 

   Police in Pakistan say a local politician who fought against the Taliban was the target of a deadly suicide bombing this morning. He was one of twelve killed near Peshawar. The Taliban is claiming responsibility.

 

   And we are also keeping an eye today on Ida. It's been upgraded to a hurricane status for the second time, expected to pass by Mexico and Cuba.
Yeah, Cancun and Cozumel folks be warned. Sorry. Reynolds has the latest.

 

   "…CNN, your hurricane headquarters. Let's kick it old school (Do it the old way) when start to talk about hurricane. We've got Ida right over here. That's the introduction. Let's take a look and see what we've got. Winds are at 90 miles per hour, gusting8 to 115. This is the strongest storm on the planet. And for this thing to retain some power or get a bit stronger, it needs to stay away from land.

 

   Well, the latest path we have, has this thing going right up into the Gulf9 of Mexico where warm water awaits. And as it forecasts, at least according to the National Hurricane Center, of being a Category 2 storm as we get into Monday, a hurricane still as we get into Wednesday early in the morning at one a.m with winds, then dropping to about 50 miles an hour in pouring, just to southeast of Pensacola and then just near Tampa as a depression. So right now, the forecast keeps this thing offshore10, but that doesn't mean you’re not gonna see some heavy rain and potential flooding to Florida, back into Alabama, even into Mississippi and Louisiana or Texas. And of course, the chance of this forecast could be wrong, and it could come onshore. So we're going to watch that for you very carefully."
