Put on a fresh pot of coffee, put the sticky buns in the oven, put a fresh battery in the remote control, and join us for the latest episode of the world's greatest daytime soap opera, "As the Democrats Bloviate." Yup, once again, it's that time...

Asbestos sufferers?? Give me a break, please! That is the biggest of the trial lawyer's scams and has put more than one reputable company out of business. If someone is suffering lung problems, unless you were a miner, it is likely from some other ailment, like smoking or pollution related asthma. If the WTC had been completed with asbestos fire proofing (IIRC they had been partially insulated with asbestos and either had to rip it out or finished the upper stories with some sort of foam insulation), they may not have been weakened to the extent that they collapsed, or at least the collapse would have been delayed.

He needs the dunce chair right next to Kennedy.

I figured as much - even though I did call his office to press my support for Alito.

I'm going to call his office and tell him to vote NO. I know he's already gonna vote NO so telling him I want him to vote yes is moot.

But after I tell them I want him to vote no I'm gonna tell him it's because it'll be just that much easier to defeat him in this years election!

Rush's "Sammy the Big Gavel Alito" parody ad now seems tame and reasonable compared to the craziness the 'rats are actually hurling against Alito.

Lets hope they don't have any shocking hidden camera footage of him playing tennis like the dastardly Scalia. That would bring a filibuster on for sure.

Durbin likes courts to establish new rights -- like privacy.

Of course when he first ran for office, Duplicitous Dick Durbin supported the idea of an amendment against abortion.

If Judge Alito is the sole cause for the downfall of the entire Western civilization, then, what are they going to blame Bush for from now on???

Kennedy is talking about the rights of prisoners...and of course my heart bleeds for them...but when he talks about prisoners with diabetes...It makes me question Alito.

What kind of man hates people with a life altering, sometimes fatal, disease?

My question is rhetorical and sarcastic. I don't think Teddy was successful in persuading anyone.

Kennedy has run the gammet. Alito is going to be in the pocket of the repubs. Will roll back 1964 civil rights acts. Hates poor people, minorities, and people of no standing. Will not PROTECT individual rights. Has done a lousy job in his current position yada yada yada.....

Yeah, but has Alito ever murdered anyone? Oh, wait, I guess that would be okay. What was I thinking?

Wow! Nice catch from the Communist Party's own publicity. I wonder who they share offices with? Medea Benjamin? Brian Becker? Ramsey Clarke?

About 20 years ago I saw the House of Commons and House of Lords in action in a tour. Not sure if this is still possible without a security colonoscopy.

Anyway the difference was amazing. the Commons was a madhouse and the Lords were asleep (literally, half were - it looked like they were sleeping off a 5 beer lunch).
