I turned off the radio a while ago.

Has anyone asked Alito a question yet?

Yes, Senator....Alito is an elitist who has never pumped his own gas.

Heh, you know we can't pump our own gas in New Jersey! Not legal here.

However, since the Third Circuit Court meets in Philadelphia, I'm sure Judge Alito has pumped his own gas in Pennsylvania.

(OTOH, NJ still has better gas prices than PA, even without self-serve. So maybe he waits to get gas until he gets back into 'Jersey.)

Oh...and Biden's statement used the phrase "little guy"...

HMMMMMMM....technically, a "little guy" would be a baby boy...but, I think the dems are in favor of JUST THE OPPOSITE...

The more "little guys" that are able to "legally" be aborted, the better.

Of course it makes sense. If the nuke option has happened with Alito...W can then nominate a judge like Brown or Owens. The rats in the senate have told W they'd filibuster Brown and Owens along with several others, if they're nominated. So W has elected not to go down this path by not nominating Brown or Owens to keep these hearings civil.

It's actually illegal to pump your own gas in New Jersey. Biden would no doubt blame GWB for that!

Logic has never been Joe Biden's strong point.

When they drilled holes in his head to insert the hair plugs much of what little brains he had leaked out.

I figure we are due for a couple of weeks of good news, since we had a crummy autumn.

Let's see, seems to me we should be capturing Zachwahiri(or however you spell it) pretty soon.

Sen. Kyl's speech was pretty good. "Don't pick sides. Stick to the Constitution. Be fair."

Then, of course, Kohl from Wisconsin starts up with his socialist tripe.
