Good night, Mrs. Calabash .. wherever you are. ;-)

[STARWISE]

Damn .. we didn't make 2000!

[PhiKapMom]

I know! I have to get up early to get my work done so I can be ready to go at 11:00 CST.

Night to all! This has been fun!

[Positive]

I can't figure it out either.

Right before closing, Frist said (as I transcribed it), "I hope my friends on the other side of the aisle will see this differently in the light of day tomorrow." Translation: agree to vote or this will go on until you do. Go Frist, go!

[Cboldt]

I think that basically, Frist is setting the Senata agenda as Estrada, Estrada, Estrada, and that the GOP is going to keep that on the agenda until it is voted on.

Where is it?

[Capitalism2003]

EVERYONE...Freep the demo senators right now. This number will connect you to the capitol switchboard...toll free. Just ask for a senator and they will punch you in. A good freeping now could give us the bump we need...one or two more senators are ready to cave. I can feel it.

After calling your favorite democrat senator, call back and leave Frist a message in support of his hardball tactics against the dem obstruction. He is doing a great job and deserves our encouragement.

accurately described as a shot across the bow...

I can't wait till Frist fires one through the hold....

[3D-JOY]

I got here a half hour ago and have been trying to catch up on the meaning of the entire night...now we seem to have missed it ....and the point!

[jra]

Why stay up until 0200 just to adjourn until 1200???

[dandelion]

I'm confused - but I feel like something wonderful is going on, almost like love in the spring. Yes, yes it is - the pubbies are playing political hackysack with the dems.

I love the smell of quorum in the morning.

[Slyfox]

It's been real...and fun.

[Capitalism2003]
