I think Sessions is great & wish he were my senator. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the senate reject his judicial nomination before he ran for the senate?
Love Senator Sam! Doc up now! Another keeper.
The Swimmer is on CNN right now...
After listening to Durbin, my "morning constitutional" has become an afternoon event. It's running on overtime.
Excuse me for playing with words.
However most customers at self-serve stations take a lot of time compared to a high-volume station's practised attendant. Can you turn the whole enter grade, amount, unscrew fuel cap, place fuel cap someplace, remove nozzle, insert nozzle in tank, hold the trigger, fill, remove nozzle, replace nozzle on pump, find gas cap, screw on gas cap, shut fuel door, and settle payment, count change in under 100 seconds?
The nozzles I've seen used in self-serve are smaller and pump slower than those used in attended stations.
Most excellent. I wonder when the transcripts will be available. Probably in the morning. If I find them, I'll post them.
WOW...thanks for posting that, hip.
I was sorry that I couldn't post on ALL of what I thought was wrong with Durbin's speech...
It seems that Benchnotes felt the same way...
Is he the guy in "Brownback Mountain?"
Yes, they did. That makes him the PERFECT SCOTUS nominee if a liberal Justice leaves the Court.
Yeah...You go Brownback. Wake 'em up. Roe is unconstitutional.
Sen. Coburn telling it like it is, as usual.
Go Coburn!
Nobody, absolutely nobody does it better.
What? The democrats would have a fit if that happened. What you "pick the nominee" and now you want to give statements and ask questions...LOL.
??????????
No doubt! Go, Coburn.
I'm not in front of a TV. Did CNN break away yet?
KFNN is a great station with a group of excellent business and stock market commentators, but CNN radio news is really tough to take. I've got to find the remote control for my stereo so I can turn off the sound during CNN news.
You are too kind.. Thank You.
