Not a single one of these scheduled people have anything to say that I want to hear.
Does anyone think someone will cover Novak's column?

From the bulldog:
I cannot describe to you the shock and awe I felt when I read Bob Novak's latest column which reveals that:
Quote:
The first documents received from unions in the Labor Department's demand for detailed financial disclosures, for the first time strictly enforcing the 1959 Landrum-Griffin labor reform act, suggest embarrassment by organized labor when the information is made public next month.
Early reports show the AFL-CIO spent $49 million (27 percent of its total annual budget) on political and lobbying activities but only $30 million (or 16.5 percent) to represent its members.
-
Geez, I thought unions were all about the "brotherhood". And I'd really be interested to see how much money would dry up if members had "paycheck protection" in which they could direct that none of their dues go to political and lobbying activities - especially since nearly all of those dues go to Democrat candidates and causes.
Here are the awards for the top 3 and I will give the link to the actual posts on last week's thread in a few minutes.
Maybe Alan Simpson? Back in the days before the new media, he was one of only a few I knew of that would take on the MSM lies and innuendo. He even managed to kick a few teeth in. He was a great defender of the Reagan administration and never missed an opportunity to go up against dems, even three to one. I for one was sorry to see him leave politics. He'll at least be interesting to hear, I'm betting.
Good thing I will be in Mass at the time.
MTP speculation
Wonder whether Tim's first question to Chertoff (like it was the last time Chertoff was on MTP) will be: Mr. Chertoff, shouldn't you resign?
Maybe. Unfortunately I am on MANY high volume ping lists (such as the canteen threads) that make it very difficult. Perhaps you can send me a FReepmail?
Any comments on the new parody by Paul Shanklin? Tears came down my face when I heard it, which was dangerous since I was driving on an Interstate hwy!
---McCain and Lindsay Graham on Brokeback Mtn II
I don't remember any of the words, I was so shocked to hear it, all I could think was what will McCain and Graham think about it.

Don't you believe it they will get some digs in somewhere
Alan Simpson took Chris Mathews & the entire media to woodshed on his show thursday.
Hey math, how have you been?
I hope this will come up today... in case you missed it:
Judge favors feds in cellphone bug ruling
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-02-17-cellphonebug_x.htm?csp=34
Guess what? The judge was a Clinton appointee... sweet.
Frist & Boxer... which one will lose their panties first?
OK will do in future sorry for the mix up.
May be not, but results matter. This week, 2 other unions are splitting from AFLCIO. Labor Sec. Eline Chao is doing a good job silently which is why Bush is having her on 2nd term.
Exactly.
The Tim Russert, DNC Spin-Hour...
