grrrr .. I wish he had hurried up
I need to head out now ... Please let me know what he said?
John Kerry.........
I just got in on the tail end of Kerry...
What the heck is the Intelligence ACT that Kerry is talking about???
Also, did Rockefeller talk...and if so, what did he say?
If he did, it was while I was taking care of some chores. I got back upstairs just in time for the tail end of Kerry. I think what he wants is the locations of the "black" prisons.
Brownback calling for cuts in spending
Time to restrain spending.... in order to get to a balanced budget. 5 year approach says this budget is the first step. Now showing how programs are scored under program revues.
High score in class C+ ..........many are failing effectiveness scores.
Carpa.....terrible name ........ system wide bill to review effectiveness and to change or shutdown failing programs. Like Military base closing commission this would be a way to close, discontinue programs that aren't working. Brownback describing bill to change how we are doing things, where we are spending money in ineffective ways.
Did you hear the discussion about upcoming speakers??
I guess Durbin wants 15 minutes...and Boxer 30 minutes in time "as if in morning business"...
HMMMMMM--what is this about?? Could it be the wiretapping?
Or is Boxer gonna cry about Bush calling out California yesterday? LOL
What an interesting admission this is. As long as the Senators have the power to make the decisions, no program, however wasteful, can be eliminated. You have to take the decision making power away from them. They cannot exercise control.

Moved to an Intelligence Bill. He wants that one moved along. I don't know the title or number of the Intelligence Bill (yet).
did Rockefeller talk...
Not yet.
Perhaps the dwarf senator from California will call for the impeachment of the President. She hasn't had her office filled with roses for some time now.
Something else I have been meaning to post...
A little while ago, I saw the exchange between McCain and Coburn about the "pork"...
First, Coburn got up and gave a concise report about the abuse of Medicaid and Medicare...and how cutting them could be accomplished just by getting rid of fraud...
BUT, then McCain interrupts him to rattle off the list of pork projects, with special emphasis on Alaska and Hawaii...like he ALWAYS does, with these big spending bills...
BUT, then he talked like he and Coburn were gonna be best buds and get together to "change things"...which would be okay...but, he said "yes, NEXT year, there will be some changes made"...
I just had to laugh, because that is McCain, he only gets up and and speaks at the very END of the process...and to gripe about the pork projects...but, then he votes FOR the spending bill everytime...
WHAT a joke he is...next year, he says...why not NOW Senator...go out on that filibuster limb for once...don't just gripe, put yourself out there!!!
But, he won't...LOL
Well, there we were, Tx, you and I, having exactly the same thoughts. After all these years, McCain, I said to myself, what have you done about this? Zip, nada, nothing.
What is with Sen. Steven's tie?
EX-Sen. Graham on Hardball lying his butt off....saying that what they were told was misrepresented...
Graham is a skanky bass turd!
???? I can't make it out.
Andrea Mitchell just asked him which Americans should worry about more, terrorists planning attacks on them...or their government listening in on their phone conversations...
Graham gave a long convuluted answer that said OUR GOVERNMENT!!!
NOW..Gergen up saying laws were violated..
Gotta turn it off...my blood pressure is high enough..
HUL something.....
