CSPAN, et al. | July 24, 2002

[Howlin]

Recovering_Democrat suggested a live thread for the "song and dance" about to take place up on the Hill, so here it is!

If you see/hear it, post it.

[marajade]

well we have lots of stores in AZ

[Michael Barnes]

LOL...yup.

[mystery-ak]

not just the east coast but in the midwest too.

[Catspaw]

When a local discount grocery store (it's a lot like Big Lots) got in a shipment of marinated artichoke hearts, my best pal and I split a case. I swear they were gone in a week.

Good Grief the Village Idiots are at the door

Gotta get rid of them .. BRB

[sinkspur]

Maybe Hastert should have waited on this ?..It's not like there aren't any other issues..judicial appointments come to mind.

The House doesn't get to vote on judicial appointments.

[Michael Barnes]

Verbal vote was close, calling for "electronic vote"...

[X-Servative]

Big Lots used to be Pic N' Save...

[swheats]

They're called McFrugal's now. I guess the next will be just "Cheap!".

[floriduh voter]

Jerry Van Dyke does their commercials. Well, they're in Florida. You don't know what you're missing. FV

[My Favorite Headache]

I really want to hear Jim go off tonight and not buried when nobody will be paying attention come around the time of 9-11.

[Mo1]

They are recording the votes

Bathroom break .. LOL

[hoosierham]

"I love you Americans, you seem to think all the time about food"

Hey, we are only light eaters here..we only eat when it is light(natural or artificial) !!!!

[Michael Barnes]

Same thing then! A hole lot of disposable crap! Every now and then though, the jewel in the rough..

[PJ-Comix]

Hey, it sounds like they were evenly split on the motion to delay. Even if the motion to delay is defeated, I just don't think there is two-thirds there to expel. Looks like Jim won't be Beamed Up today!

[marajade]

its a 17 min vote... this will be interesting...

[dixiechick2000]

I checked hole-in-one's link and found one less than 3 miles from hy house.
I had not heard of them before reading this thread.
BTW, I'm in Oregon.

[SteveH]

Steve LaTourette (of the house judiciary committee?) seems to be doing a rather credible job of supporting the notion of delaying the vote... by all normal rational standards people would listen and vote to delay in my opinion, but since this is politics, I guess the principles of rationality do not apply...

[Servant of the Nine]

I wonder how many Traficant will take down with him if the vote goes against him?

So9

Big Lots used to be Pic N' Save...

No kidding? I never knew that...
