shall we do a live thread?

[OXENinFLA]

You can, but I doubt many people will be able to watch it cause it's on C3.

Then again I bet C-son will rerun it later.

[Bahbah]

I doubt many people will be able to watch it cause it's on C3.

True, I have to stream it on the computer to watch.

[ken5050]

Good point..thanks..<P.
BTW..any update on Tony Snow's first presser?

[Mo1]

Dodd is up yammering

Why does it sound like they want to push for national health care with this bill?

[Bahbah]

any update on Tony Snow's first presser?

The latest rumor is Friday. We're keeping our eyes peeled.

[ken5050]

Friday...what, no WH news for a week...? I thought they held a DAILY BRIEF..

[Bahbah]

Update from the man himself. Briefing is possible on Friday but not firm yet.

[Mo1]

I think my head is going to explode

After getting off the phone with my one brother and screaming at him because he said there is no such thing as a war on terror .. I turn on c-span and get to listen to Ron Wyden whining about healthcare

Gee .. could my day get any better

[firewalk]

Thanks

[Bahbah]

could my day get any better

If you are watching Rummy's presser, your day is improving substantially.

[OXENinFLA]

Chucky up to begin the grilling...........

[OXENinFLA]

Live on C-SPAN 3 - Brett Kavanaugh Judicial Hearing

[Mo1]

Harkin is up praising Boxer and her State of California on their leadership concerning healthcare

I've lost count .. How many hospitals had to close down because of healthcare costs?

[Bahbah]

The Kavanaugh hearings are now on C-Span 1

Previous Meeting

Tuesday, May 9, 2006

The Senate convened at 9:45 a.m. and adjourned at 7:31 p.m. One record vote was taken.

[Bahbah]

I admit that I am finding the debate on health insurance hard to listen to. It seems a good idea to let small companies band with others to obtain health insurance for employees. I don't see why in the world there should ever have been an impediment to this in the first place.

[Bahbah]

Harry says the Enzi bill isn't any good, but he doesn't say why, what's wrong with it. Just whining about how beaten down the dems are by the evil Republicans. He says that someone asked him what the dems stand for, but he says the real deal is WHO they stand for. LOL. You'll get no specifics from Dingy.

[Txsleuth]

I saw a few minutes of the daily whine by poor, pitiful Harry...

Then, I saw Sen. Craig immediately stand up and start making fun of him, with CHARTS!!!! LOL
