If you have one of those dishwashers, or washing machines, with a glass front, you can put the TV INSIDE, and watch Dorgan and Daschle while it's running....it's about the closest thing you'll get top washing their mouth out with soap...

[Howlin]

So was Schumer humbled by his smackdown from Gonzalez?

[Miss Marple]

OK. Fox News just lost me. In the middle of all of this, they are going to Robert Blake's preliminary hearing. There is NO NEWS VALUE in this story, Mr. Ailes!

[Cold Heat]

Boxer just ranted about womens rights stories comming out of the Afgan area, like they were not being addressed fully.

Karzai asked her to come to the country and see for her self what is really going on.LOL!:-)

I'll have you know that the chrome lined barrel is now gleaming! and...

Well, OK. But those guns are scary! Especially the ones with the pistol grips, flash supressor, collapsible stock, 16.1" barrel with step cut, matte black anodized receiver, black oxide barrel and one of those red dot thingy scopes. Cleaning one of those is fun too:)

[upchuck]

LOL!!! I did that. And, boy, do they get dizzy on the spin cycle. Well, actually, they get MORE dizzy :)

Checking in! Just got CSPAN up and running on the computer. Have I missed a lot? Keep us cubical people posted as you all do so well. I have to mute and tile it down sometimes, as work gets really busy. :o)

[Howlin]

I just got back myself -- had to get my mother's glasses fixed so she'd leave me alone!

I'm trying to speed read to this point!

[Cold Heat]

I did not see Shumer. The Karzai interview just finished.

Biden got put in his place though, by Karzai. He actually accused Hamid of painting a rosy picture that did not exist. Karzai was cool but I'll bet he was livid underneath the smile.

[Txslady]

Thanks... scanning the post myself! :o)

[ken5050]

My comment was somewhat tongue in cheek. Actually, Hillary's very good on consituent sewrvice....My local cable system, (which is also hers, BTW) was preempting C-span2 with a local shopping channel..I complained several times..no luck...so I called Hillary's office..told them that her friends and neighbors couldn't watch her...heck, even Bill couldn't watch her when he's home....problem got fixed in ONE DAY....

[PhiKapMom]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That really made me laugh!

[ken5050]

And Donohoue got himself.....cancelled.....

[Dog]

LOL!

Afternoon everyone what did I miss??

[votelife]

calling liberal NJ senators is not a waste of time. It makes them second guess their liberal votes, not becuase they suddenly think, wait, Frist is right, but becuase it makes them fear the next election...

Think of it in terms of Bush/Saddam. Everytime Bush says something strong against him, Saddam doesn't think "Yeah, Bush is right, I must disarm." Saddam thinks, "Bush is serious, and I'm in serious trouble!"

So if Bush can put that much heat on someone he KNOWS will NEVER agree with him, the least we can do is put heat on liberal Senators will might vote with us out of fear.

Fox News is doing that more and more!

Have you watched former Cong Joe Scarborough's new show on MSNBC at 9:00 cst? Last night he had Sen Chambliss on -- have enjoyed watching his first two shows since he is on our side! What a switch. He had Sen Lindsey Graham on the first night I watched on Monday night!

[tractorman]

I too have been praying to The Great I Am to strengthen and encourage the God-fearing people in our government - few that they may be - especially our president.

What a great feeling it is to get up every day knowing who's in the White House and who could have been.

Divine intervention at Its best.

[Howlin]

Go for yourself, man.......I'm in the same boat you're in, been out this morning. (They're laughing though, so it can't be that bad!)

[Mo1]

You're a tad "out of it" today, my friend.....a late night, perhaps?

Just a tad

Still on the phone with mom .. were talking about the depressions years ..

I figured this conversation is a little better then listening to Spector

Am I right?
