LOL! Sorry. It IS your thread, and all. ;o)

B you been taking "R-tick-u-laten" lesssons from war daddy ani't ya

This would require only 51 votes, but Frist does not even have that many today because of reluctance to tamper with the traditions of the Senate.

yup. that's exactly what I was talking about.

I can see the wheels turning inside the collective Congressional head right now: Why fiddle with 'esteemed' traditions of the Senate when you can fiddle with the Constitution instead?

BTW, I'm sorry I didn't respond to your FreepMail earlier on this topic. I was a little busy at work. :-)

Wardaddy is the Emir of Elocution, the Archduke of Articulation, the Emperor of Excoriation. I mean, he's a true member of the Royalty of Rant.

I'm only a pretender to the throne. :-)

"I was a little busy at work. :-)"

Perfectly understandable, bourbon. I didn't mean to interrupt you. ;o)

[bourbon]

pls. interrupt me anytime. seriously... I need the diversion!

[dixiechick2000]

You're so nice. I will ping you, reply to you, and freepmail you to take your mind off things for a minute or two.

But, don't ever apologize for not responding right away.
I understand the position you're in.

This is bad news, I hope he was not the judge I had it out with via emails regarding the Ten Commandments monument, as he got pretty upset that I wouldn't agree that judges should follow un-Constitutional laws.

I pointed out that our forefathers felt we should rebel, ignore, and disobey, such laws. I think he had too much at stake in this earthy realm to stick his neck out like Moore did.

Sure hope it wasn't Pickering or one of his sons. Famous people make me nervous, sometimes I forget they lurk.

consider his recessed!
