You need to purchase that voice-recognition software until your wrist heals :)
Feel & get better!
Sorry to hear you broke your wrist....we're you pounding that keyboard again?.......I hope it heals quickly...
I was unaware that you injured your wrist! Get well soon! Happy New Year to you and yours!
Funny
Just heard on C-SPAM that it will be about 4 pm. Not sure if that is Eastern time, I would suppose so.
thx you all
OUCH! How'd you do that. One word answer is fine since you are probably typing with one finger.
I think the Republicans are ready to fight for Alito....Orin Hatch was on Fox, earlier, and said "gosh darn it"!!
I could never, ever be a politician. Using tact and playing nicey nice with the likes of Fat Kennedy, Boxer, Biden etc. just would not be a possibility.
"I wish you were correct, but I predict there will be between 26 and 32 votes against him."
I agree with you. The bottom line is money and the lib groups will not contribute to any dim who votes for Alito.
What I can't wait for is the usual suspects to show their typical disrespect for the candidate and make @sses out of themselves, as usual.
I hope Alito spanks them like Roberts did.
Ouch! Heal well and fast:)
If nothing else- this will be good for raising blood pressure while listening to the mad ramblings of the libs.
Underway yet?
damn Christmas rug
Oh honey! Hope it doesn't hurt too much.
Be well.
If anyone cares at this point, C-SPAN is covering Alito's family, who were just seated in the chamber. They look in good spirits.
What're they waiting for? Sharon to die? So they can delay the hearings further?
Mrs. Alito is an attractive woman. Very happy at the moment.
yep
Sorry to hear about your wrist. Get better soon!
Did you hurt it playing Whack a Lib? :-)
C-Span.....starts at noon, eastern
Oh my...is Kate Michael-I -hate every-man there with her gaggle?
Alito gets to make an opening statement at 4
