***Fat Teddy on the floor!***

Well, somebody mop him up and pour him back in his chair.

[defconw]

Whing about the picks of the President for nominations! Just vote on Bolton you hacks!

[Dutchgirl]

Is this a drinking game?
Do I take a shot everytime Rummy is asked a question the answer to which is Unknowable.?
Do I get a beer chaser whenever a member of the panel speaks for five minutes without ever asking him an actual question?

Nah, no one could consume that much alcohol and live.

[defconw]

It's going to be a long day, I am already making typos!

Fat Teddy on the floor!

Even for the Swimmer, it's a little early in the day to be that drunk, isn't it?

[LisaFab]

Is the guy behind him nodding off or just bored and reading the new Hillary book?

[defconw]

How about when Rummy says something to the affect that that is a stupid question, or why would you ask me that? Less alcohol consumption!

[defconw]

The President is flaunting his power! Unbelievable!

[OXENinFLA]

Do I take a shot everytime Rummy is asked a question the answer to which is Unknowable.?

Depends on if Rummy comes back with this.....

“As we know, there are known knowns. These are things we know. There are things we know we know…We also know there are known unknowns. That is to say, we know there are some things we do not know…But there are also unknowns unknowns—the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”
