C-span

[ken5050]

Good Monday to you all, fellow Freepers and political junkies. I trust everyone had a nice weekend and a good Father's Day. The Senate will convene at 2PM today. They are scheduled for several hours of debate on the Energy bill, then at 6PM, Frist will call for a cloture vote on the nomination of John Bolton for US Ambassador to the UN. Follow along, and comment, as usual..

Oh thanks... because normally my staunchly conservative mom is for PETA. So she was very upset but didn't have all the facts.

The question Rush didn't ask is where he got his medical degree.
