Well, here at my son's (where I am now) I have a TV in the same room with the computer! However, I am distracted by having to keep an eye on the baby, so I can't post much.

Fox is covering the all-important Kobe Bryant story. He has arrived at the courthouse! (That, of course, got the Fox News gong for breaking news).

I am switching to C-SPAN (did get to see the president this morning) to watch the debate. I will check in later on the thread..maybe during nap-time.

I'm so sick and damn tired of being told that I'm not part of "mainstream America."

Let me tell you a thing or two about Bayh....

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. You're doing great and I appreciate the recap. So you think Sen. Sessions is a bit funny-looking, huh? I'm from Alabama and let me assure you, we're all a bit funny-looking! LOL!

Fitzgerald did a very good job. I wish he were a little more "on fire," though, since I know liberals only listen when there is a lot of emotion.

Quickening: When the mother can feel the baby kicking inside of her, it has become a person. Abortion is no longer allowed.

So you subscribe to the belief that if a tree falls in the forest but no one is there to see or hear it, it didn't happen?

A baby has life and is moving long before we can feel it through "quickening". With nothing more than a doppler the heartbeat can be picked up weeks before quickening. And of course now we have sonogram capabilities that are astounding in the life activity they can show.

Ok, Senators. You're cutting into Kobe Bryant
trial time! Geezzzz. Next, you'll be cutting
into Scott Peterson trial!
Priorities, Senators! Priorities!

Gov't of the few, run by the few, for the few is unacceptable. Hello, The minority in the Senate?!?

I'm on Texas time and could not sleep at 1:30 this mornign so I awoke and started watching C-span until 3:45 this morning. Talk about needing to "GET A LIFE" I am a political junkie who had to get my fix.

Like a child on drugs....

Cantwell sounds like a little child speaking. One can fall asleep listening to her if not for her constant, annoying banging of the podium.
