Just a quick HURRAH!!! Just heard on Special Report that Orin Hatch is pushing through 3 judges to the dislike of Chucky Schumer and Fat Teddy.

First Commercial:Source: Some Investment company Setting: Street corner in Manhattan "Excuse me - This is MY cab"..."Can we share a cab?"..."You work for XXX, Can I..." (blather of questions...)It's a black lady asking some white business guy free advice which he politely answers and she ends with "My life down to one sheet of paper".My observations:1. she comes off rude - OK - I've worked Manhattan - people are direct.2. "This is My Cab" - reminds me of liberal community sense of entitlement3. "Can we share..." - after stating entitlement, now wants someone else to help pick up the tab.Second ...
