Do you ever try to remember WHEN you heard something (considering that we here at FR hear things SO much earlier than most people!)?

"...you HAVE to keep checking..."

That's okay with me. This place is closer to my house than most stores.
Have you ever heard of the chain called Tuesday Morning? If you have, is it something on that order?

I'd love to hear why Gary Condit didn't get sanctioned.

who is this a$$hole Hefley(sp?) R. Colorado and what is his problem with Traficant?).

Hefley is the chairman of the Ethics Committee.

His problem with Traficant is that Traficant is a convicted felon. Do you think convicted felons should be serving in Congress?

No, actually, he was so boring I concentrated on reading posts. What did he say in a nutshell?

He actually had the gall to say that members of Congress do not have special perks and that they have to play by the rules.... like this pack of scumbags doesn't extract every little perk they can GET out of this country. THESE A$$HOLES MAKE ME SICK!!!!!!!

It's pretty sad; he's just rehashing what he said last week.

He asked for 11 witnesses and the Ethics Committee only allowed him one witness.

Yes, it will be with a heavy a** that she will vote to expel. These people make me absolutely sick. Too dam*ed bad they didn't feel compelled to search their ethical emotions when the Arkanfuhrer was on trial.

He has less alleged hair than Trafficant. Big combover action. HE's been on this week. He looks like a jerk to me. But, at least he's not a dem rat.

Well, Mrs CD is sitting here with me.

We were watching until the rain got too heavy. :(

Do you ever try to remember WHEN you heard something...?

No.
After about the first year here, when someone would ask "Have you heard about this...?", the standard answer is "Yeah, about a week ago."

Dang he's jumping around all of the place....

Seems to me he is going case by case.

Without notes.
