Underperforming - DC's snow storm was a bust.

Overperforming - Rand Paul's Filibusters is At Six Hours and Going Strong - He's alluded at least three times to Alice in Wonderland, listened to a reading of William Travis's letter - "victory or death" - at the Alamo, which fell 117 years ago today, and said he doesn't really think President Obama is going to order the death of some guy sitting in a cafe.

But Rand Paul doesn't want any president to have the power to ice lonely cafe-going American citizens. So, with the help of six Republicans and one Democrat (although Ron Wyden said he'll eventually support Brennan), Paul has been talking. Since 10:47.

Mr. Smith would be proud. That's how most Americans probably view a filibuster: Jimmy Stewart as Mr. Smith reading aloud for hours and hours in pursuit of righting some wrong.

The wrong for Rand Paul is the Obama administration's targeted killing program - the use of drones to bomb suspected terrorists in foreign lands - is Constitutional. His concern hit a new level Monday when his office released a letter from Attorney General Eric Holder explaining that the administration feels it has the ability, in the extremely unlikely situation, to kill Americans on U.S. soil to avert an imminent terror attack. More than that, he sees no geographic or temporal limit to the war on terror. More on Paul and the very weighty issues of the 5th Amendment, executive privlege and secrecy - http://abcn.ws/12uxwSW

Bipartisanship! It's What's for Dinner - Per Devin Dwyer: "Tonight Obama will host a dinner party for a small group of 11 GOP senators, aides to several participants confirmed. Among the guests expected at the table are Sens. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, John McCain of Arizona and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire.

"After a first term marred by gridlock with Republicans on core fiscal issues, the invite signals a new attempt to break the partisan impasse on taxes and spending cuts. The overture also suggests Obama wants to salvage prospects for his other top agenda items, including an overhaul of the nation's immigration system and a compromise on gun control.

"Administration officials said tonight's meal will take place at the Jefferson Hotel, just a few blocks from the White House, and will be closed to the press. The list of guests was compiled by Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina at Obama's request, an official told ABC News.

"Meantime, the president has requested separate meetings next week with all House and Senate Republicans on Capitol Hill, officials said. The request was submitted by White House chief of staff Denis McDonough."
