[Alas Babylon!]

As always, soliciting FReeper comments, observations, and opinions.

[Morgan in Denver]

Good morning AB. Thanks for the thread, as usual.

[Sybeck1]

Wonder if Durbin will get asked about the "Frist Ammendment"?

[mainepatsfan]

Let's see how they try to keep the Rove story going this Sunday.

[mathluv]

Thanks, as always, AB. I look forward to hearing Sen Cornyn on Fox.

[NautiNurse]

Oh my--Gonzales and Schumer, Gonzales and Plugs. Very interesting possibilities.

[JustaCowgirl]

Looks like an interesting lineup today, with some actual Republicans on this week, except for This Week.

I hope John Cornyn assists Chuckles in demonstrating what a
slimy weasel he is. Just the contrast between the persona of those two should be enough to accomplish that.

Since the wife is still in bed. MMMMMM Kiran Chetry

[snugs]

Good morning all. For any Condi fans out there you may like to check out a thread I have put up later which is a collection of photos from her 3 day visit to the middle east.

The the link is A Few Days in the Life of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice (A lot of photos): 7.21.05 - 7.23.05

[ThreePuttinDude]

Can anyone recall, if Shummer has missed a Sunday show??

I can't remember not seeing/hearing his B/S.

[Bahbah]

Let's see how they try to keep the Rove story going this Sunday.

I believe the line now is that Rove is being investigated for perjury (from the LAT on Fox this morning).

[Just mythoughts]

Wonder if Moolah Durbin will be asked about this article, or if he will bring it up allllll by himself????

The longer they push this the funnier it gets.

[ThreePuttinDude]

C C, I have to disagree, Juliette is looking especially fine, since her singleness. {LOL}

[Solamente]

I hope Thompson rips Durbin a new one.

[mainepatsfan]

He probably will. He's not running for anything.

[Capn TrVth]

Hello Peeps! This ought to be a good one! I was just watching CNN, they ominously reported that Tony Blair billed the U.K. nearly $500 per year for hiis on-camera "make up", they took a worried and pensive tone when they pointed out that; The yearly average cost ROSE when he was defending the Intelligence on Iraq.

I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Now... I wondered if the Rocket Scientist that cobbled this story together ever thought for a moment that in times of war and great political controversy Blair would be required to be in fromt of cameras and doing interviews and neediong a make-up artist susbstantially more often then usual?

Then I remembered, this is CNN. They are apparently running this story from The Guardian. Other than that little tidlet. It's sure to be a great mornin' everyone! Glad to be here in such good company.

[Bahbah]

The longer they push this the funnier it gets.

When I was listening to this, I was hoping that it comes back to bite them good and hard.

As usual DrMichael's Saturday night performance was far superior to his Friday night's outing. After a week off, from the previous Saturday night, we were a little rusty and it seems it takes us an evening to get back in the groove. My two separate solos during the breaks in Long Time Gone (CSN&Y) were inspired, IMHO! We've also tried to add a few new songs to our repetoire: Poncho and Lefty (Highwaymen), Come Monday (Buffet) & Mama Tried (Merle Haggard). Yee-HA!

It's Bush's fault. Tony Blair would not have spent as much on makeup had Bush not taken us into Iraq on a war against terrorism.
