I second that emotion. After taking the trouble to dust off the old browser so I could watch c-span, I nearly fell asleep listening to the hearing. Came back here and, no doubt about it, the FR live thread is more informative, more entertaining, better paced by a factor of ten thousand---and reliably amusing too. Credit to all.
Is everybody streaming this online? I can't find it anywhere on TV coverage...??
I am unable to listen to the hearings just now and this thread is all you said..Applause to all!
