Number Of The Day: 284

That's the number of votes missed by retiring GOP Rep. Jerry Weller during the current congressional session.

Yesterday, he was the only member of the House to miss the vote on the bailout bill.  Several local news outlets, including the Herald News and WJBC, attempted to get an explanation from Weller's office, but received no response. 

News reporter Joe Hosey was able to confirm that Weller is in the country -- so we've got that going for us.
