[Arizona Carolyn]

And we're paying for them.

[onyx]

Quite a nice afternoon, huh?

[kimmie7]

and playing scrabble, lol

kiddo is napping, doggie is napping, house is relatively clean, mama is happy!

[TechJunkYard]

I barely had enough time to comb my hair before I had to rush over here for a hastily-called cloture vote!

Oh, come off it Chris, it's been a week... geeeez..

[Carolinamom]

I wonder if WE paid for those TEN cars to be airlifted to Davos? Speaking of kings, clinton's calvacade was worthy of one, wasn't it?

[Arizona Carolyn]

Oh, Brit just showed a clip of "hick-up" Kennedy -- says nothing else important on the horizon.... what about The Patriot Act??

[Cboldt]

If either of you get the transcript of the Boxer speech today..could you ping me please?

It'll be up tomorrow ...

Senate - January 30, 2006 <- mash here, tomorrow

[Pirate21]

How I wish President Bush would give a DeMint-type speech tomorrow night on the SOTU. I mean...how long do you have to keep acting and being an "adult" and practice diplomacy. I would LOVE to see the chamber get like Britain's where they throw food, etc.. It would be the perfect venue to take the Democrats to task on all their obstructionist and un-American behavior.

I agree wholeheartedly about President Bush taking the gloves off. God bless him for restoring and maintaining the dignity of the Oval Office, but enough's enough. There's no lack of dignity in pointing out the harm that others are doing to the country. There's no harm in calling them to task. He has no problem doing it about the terrorists; it's time to feel comfortable doing it about the liberals, too. Too many Americans need it spelled out for them. What a disservice (and lazy job) most Democrat politicians are doing by having no agenda of their own other than "whatever goes against Bush"...even to the point of actively working to harm us.

[AliVeritas]

He really has to stay off the bong.

[Carolinamom]

They only have until Feb. 3 to renew the Patriot Act.

[Peach]

I've been playing backgammon and cribbage a lot at night. I love games.

Glad you are good, kimmie. Maybe see you on the live thread tomorrow at 11:00.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Dodd could do us a favor and let us know what airline took days to get him there so we can all avoid using it.

[Arizona Carolyn]

Well, Ted Kennedy just said there is nothing important on the docket, so now we know they care more about abortions than national security.

[small voice in the wilderness]

"Senator's time is up..."

"I see that the gavel is about to come down..." Dodd says. What I wouldn't give...

[billhilly]

Uncle Herschel's breakfast.

[Txsleuth]

Okay..thanks...I am good at "mashing"...LOL

[Cboldt]

LOL. Dodd -- get the hook. Time is up.

But actually, better to let them talk, all they want.

[defconw]

Yep and I will get to see the vote, unfortunately I will miss SOTU, live, but VCR works. :) Dodd's time expired, come on Rich, smack him!

[small voice in the wilderness]

Tap tap tap. Time is up...Yet ON he goes...

[Cboldt]

They only have until Feb. 3 to renew the Patriot Act.

I think they'll push that date out another month or so - at least a week or two.
