Alito opens with a round of thanks, expression of humility and honor, etc.
Telling a story about a lawyer giving answers to a judge, "How did you get here." A good opening to expressing a sense of obligation to give meaningful answers to the committee. Giving his personal growing up story now ... interesting, and sets a simple foundation for following testinony, in that he comes off as unpretentious, direct, honest and forthcoming.

Doesn't sound like Laut can read...
but, Kennedy was just as bad...and Durbin wasn't great.
Laut just sounds like such a dunce.
I have to now...and pick up Kailey...
Take good notes...BBL

My daughter, who is almost 9, saw it sitting on the table and screamed...."where did you get that? Throw it away NOW!" I think she thought we'd catch something like "mad dem disease."
My husband and I thought it was hilarious.

My sample set of time-measurements is from a four nozzle high-volume station, no windshields, just cheap gas. Two attendants, most of the time. I suspect that an attended station where the attendant had to handle more than two and sometimes four nozzles at a tme would not achieve 100 second turns, would be much slower. Too much movement and waiting at the pump.

What did I miss.... The usual sound-bite rhetoric from the usual players. You'll get up to speed in no time, there were only a handful (half a dozen or so) significant "events" in the day.

He's speaking without notes, and did you notice how slowly he opened and poured the water, took a drink..he made THEM wait for HIM..a subtle gauntlet tossed down, perhaps?

"but red is a good color on every woman."
Except me. It clashes with my red hair. :)

LOL. Alito contrasts some of the nuttiness he saw on campus by the privileged with the good folks from back home. SMACK!

I keep forgetting you are at work!
Biden, Durbin & Schmuckie are all sitting there deliberately looking bored while Judge Alito is talking!

:-) Even so, I think that there's a shade for you. But you may be happier in another color.

:-) That's okay, I am multitasking.
BTW shall we propose a puppet show to entertain the senior Dems on the committee?

Then green or royal blue is your color. I have a few redheaded lady friends, and they tend to look best in those colors. Then again, you probably know that already. ;-)
