I'm back after taking a mindless T.V. entertainment break. Methinks we are having some good news tonight, yes? Some great comments on the Live Thread - Dickie G. on FOX looks like someone ran over his dog (rintense); McAwful and Forehead look like they're going to burst into tears! If they're sad, I'm GLAD!!!

illstillbe, wish you were her to celebrate with us. LITTLE KATHY LOST!!!! Yippee! Who'd a thought it?

Noting an interesting change in the local news reporting tonight.......None of the graphics flashing below the screen identify whether the candidates are REPUB or DEMORAT! This is new, and I suppose they are trying to hide the bad news. All three local channels have gone to Dickie Gephardt's acceptance speech for his rep. seat, like THAT is some big news!
