Harry Reid Seeks Senate Waiver To Allow Popcorn, Snacks During 'LINCOLN' screening...

◼ The important stuff

Reid, D-Nev., set up the viewing of the new Steven Spielberg film for Dec. 19 at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center and even invited the acclaimed director to join, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

But food is not allowed in the auditorium, so Reid is reportedly asking the Senate Rules Committee for a special waiver to allow popcorn and movie snacks for the viewers, according to an ABC News report. Fox News also reported that the waiver would allow for bottled water, in addition to the snacks and unbuttered popcorn.
