This is posted as breaking news on msnbc's website. Did a search and didn't see it anywhere. Nothing follows for now. Anyone know anything?

Why do you do that? You never jump in unless there's an basic act of God like a hurricane!

Oh, I wanted to... but alas, work prohibited me from jumping in on MJ. Then, the act of God was that things quieted down for the Pickering recess appointment... God IS good!

[Marysecretary]

Ah! the evil twins! LOL

[Darlin']

Yippppeeee !!!! Thanks for the ping. :) Great news.

As Ned Flanders would say, "Well, break out the crayolas and color me Tickled Pink."

Does anyone know - will Jusge Pickering draw a salary? Can't get the source now, but I believe recess appointees do not get paid.

I believe that since Pickering's nomination is "pending" in the Senate, he can draw a salary.

[Hand em their arse]

Think he's ever said "Holy Sh%#$t, I'm drunk! This calls for a drink"

[Mr. Silverback]

Don't mean to upstage you, but here's a better one:

THANK GOD! IT IS ABOUT FREAKING TIME.
GOD BLESS YOU PRESIDENT BUSH...

I know he's got his reasons...and I trust the guy, even if I don't always agree with him.

One DUmmy is patiently trying to remind the others that Clinton used the same tactic. They are in such hysterics that no one is paying attention.

[BJClinton]

they must work for FREE

According to Fox News, Pickering will get a pay raise. Also, I believe Estrada is holding out for the SC. Just my $0.02.

[kcpopps]

Fox news said it wasn't without precedent - that clinton had done it too. Can anyone link to a specific article on clinton doing this?

[Marysecretary]

I rarely watch her either. She's a tad annoying and you can only sit through Laci Peterson and other mysteries just so long. Time to turn on Law and Order and really see some blood. (grin)

"The sun is coming up - how about a drink?"

[JohnnyZ]

The Democrats ACCUSED him of being a racist, but it's a lie.

Yeah, what did I say? "Appointing someone accused of being racist".

Hopefully they took MLK Day into account, 'cause the protests in Atlanta are certainly going to pick this up.

It will reopen the discussion about how much not a racist he is when they start interviewing his supporters. It will show the facts not the fiction spewed by the Dems.

You have much faith in the media.

sweet post.

[homemom]

***They usually sound the gong for just about anything.***

Not to mention over and OVER and OVER again! They should have a rule that it's a "News Alert" only once. After all, by definition, "Breaking News" can only be "breaking" once, right???

[honeygrl]

Well, that's probably a freeper plant if they are doing that! LOL (freepers troll there just like DUmmies troll here)
