[Howlin]

I'm back now; we lost power for two hours. I was dreading a hot steamy night with NO air conditioning.

Big time lightning. Major.

I was gone a couple of hours also, what'd we miss?

[You Dirty Rats]

We'll be seeing a bigger storm soon -- the "Last Stand of the 'Rats" -- starring the usual gang of idiots in the Senate.

First we'll have hysterical statements by the likes of Box-O-Rox; next we'll have the committee hearings where the NARAL gang and the Feminists will trot out their death-by-coat-hanger nonsense; then we'll have the usual Senate Debate with mindless shrieking 'Rats and solid counterattacks by loyal Republicans; and finally, a vote to invoke cloture. A long, hard ride that makes the Tour de France look like a tricycle ride down the driveway.

Get ready for dozens of Live Threads, Howlin. As they used to say on Batman -- "But Wait!! The worst is yet to come!!" (Like Batman, we'll beat these arch-villains!)
