I think Jack Kemp would be alive today.

Well then, I’m sold on Arlen Ruprect the Loyal™.

Heard today that Dean and some other Democratic leaders let him know that if he does not clean up his act, he will face a primary challenger. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving asshat (except maybe Jiltin’ Joe).

oh, I’m so sure they’ll hold his feet to the fire, too.

“No empathy.”
R qualification for SCOTUS, according to TDS.

Goes along with the “no heart or soul” that they no require of all office holders.

And halfway across the river, the scorpion stung him…

Who are you going to believe — two scumbaggish, amoral, ankle-biting reporters …

depends. Were they WH Press Corpse?

Consistent with Rs are dicks, and always have been.

We will see, but it is nice to hear somebody at least calling him on this bullshit. Be nice if they aren’t just bluffing as well.

Not that it has gone unnoticed here and elsewhere, but somebody please tell me what business the Democrats have offering anything – ANYTHING – to a guy who needs a party shift because they hate his fucking guts over there. They are in the drivers seat and they are now cupping their hands for this sack of crap.

*blood pressure returning to normal in a little while*

Why didn’t Specter just join the Liarman party?

“No empathy.”
R qualification for SCOTUS, according to TDS.

can’t have that. Might scare Justice Fat Tony and/or interrupt Clarence Thomas’s self-induced coma.

Were they WH Press Corpse? Stenographers?

That’s better.

Yep. Haven’t been right about anything since Eisenhower’s military-industrial complex speech.

A primary challenge would be nice, although I have visions of establishment friends lining up with him, circa Lieberman ‘06, with a similar crossover vote factor.
Sure, they may hate him now, but they’d rather have him than some commie…

Because the Dems are nothing if not consistent in their invertebracy.

It’s a good thing we have a steadfast Democratic leadership…

What leadership?

That’s right, Admiral Joe “Red” Sestak (retired).
If the good Congressman should start to make some waves, they will launch in him, too.

Should have been an apology, since Ike created the MIC.

You know…Harry “Spread ‘Em” Reid.

While Ike was generally a decent person (so I have heard), he was a Republican and they don’t do actual apologies. I think that was as close as he could get.

What leadership?

Are you implying that, say, Harry Reid has done anything other than a stellar job in taking full advantage of his majority, fighting off limp-dicked lunatics of the R persuasion, and has moved with utter Machiavellian ruthlessness in the forwarding of the Democratic agenda?

Hard to lead when you spend all your time bent over asking the Republicans, “May I have another, Sir?”

I understand that the dems are excited about having their 60th Senator, but would they promise the moon without conditions? Guy sounds like he’ll vote against everything Obama ran on.

Are they stupid?

I understand that were he alive today, General Patton would sh*t his jodhpurs in the steely presence of Harry Reid.

There is a specter haunting the Democratic Party. It is the specter of centrism.

Machiavelli would eat Harry for lunch (with some fava beans and a nice Chianti). I have seen jellyfish with more spine.

an honest, fair-dealing Senator

Well, that lets Arlen out!

Yes. This has been another edition of ….

I’m confused. What does launch in him too mean?
Pretend I’m blond, *g*. And, I wonder stuff.

Yes.
This has been another edition ….

Only thing in the middle of the road is dead possums.

spazzed on edit
launch into him

Isn’t the correct title “Arlen Specter (D-cynical seat warmer for future Sen Sestak)”?

Or maybe somebody better than Sestak?

I hope that there is support for a hard primary fight against Specter. I have no problem with Specter avoiding the Republican Primary -I mean, there is something to be said in favor sanity and a sense of self preservation. I do have a problem with Specter avoiding any primary at all, if he continues his cynical posturing and voting -which has been his trademark for years.

I hope Specter is reminded everyday he cannot avoid a hard primary as a Democrat. He does not need to be a “perfectly loyal” Democrat, or even “very loyal”, but if he thinks he can be a Democrat and continue his goofy votes, that contradict over half of the sensible things he says, I hope he gets a lesson in primarying. It might scare some sane votes out of him in the meanwhile.

The Democratic establishement leadership won’t do a damn thing, so I hope the grassroots does. I will send money for a good primary fight.

Spaz happens. Gotcha, now.

It’s always a compromise for what you want. How’s this deal sound? Arlen to the SCOTUS (which is what he’s been negotiating for a week without subtlety or irony), plus, so what if it’s a lifetime appt? Okay, and Rendell appoints Chris Matthews to replace Specter, and also it’s hardly like forever; and MSNBC replaces Matthews on Hardball with Jane Hamsher.

and yellow stripes.

Democratic establishment leadership nothings lineing up behind Specter for his next electon? Yuk! We need to have a little talk with those people (won’t do any good except for one or two of them, but need to crack that Wall of Fail).

Spaz happens

great – now I’m worried that there’s some sort of secret camera in my place.

I just can’t keep up with you guys at late night. What’s wrong with me?

Sorry, I can only go along with one third of that plan.

Saw, but I’m not telling.

Only thing in the middle of the road is dead possums.

and dead skunks.

It was Dean and James Carville, so make that one former DNC head and a hobgoblin.

Most of the current Dem leadership isn’t more than an iota to the left of Senator Sphincter and after they let Lieberman keep his committee chairs there is zero chance they’ll hold Arlen accountable.

Matthews would be a hoot, and would probably get more good votes out of him. We would get some awful votes too, but so far Specter is bragging for some bizarre reason that we will get only awful votes out of Specter, just to prove to no one but himself that he is not a cynical operator.

Both Specter and Matthews would be horrible Senators for the next term for that seat. But Specter puts me to sleep quickly enough. Matthews…. man… I might start drinking pretty hard with Matthews as a Senator.

Flat Cats.

Specter’s too old to be a Justice. This will be his last election if he makes it until 2010…

I like the part about Jane, though!

I know the feeling. Thought I kept it wraps pretty well.

Specter is in the club, and Sestak isn’t. The establishment will support him, as a professional courtesy: “honor among thieves”.

Don’t be horribly surprised if Obama supports him, too.

Hey, maybe they can give Specter Lieberman’s chairs.

That would be funny.

Oh poo, Senator Lieberman votes with us on all but a few things.
Stirling fellow, Joe.

Arlen to SCOTUS? Could that happen? He is mediocre enought to fit in with some of those old buzzards. That move would be cynical, rewarding of bad cynical behavior, and a betrayel of the high standards we should aim for. It is a digusting idea.

But, if Specter can do less damage there, and clear the way for a decent PA Senator, it might work. Tell me more! I might like it.

You forgot the dead Snakes!!

How about Jane, Redd and Emptywheel take over Hardball, with a format sort of like Morning Joe with fratboy humor, but with intelligent discussion of the issues.

Yes. Road pizza, they call it in Florida.

(((demi)))

Wouldn’t change much but would be worth it to see the expression on Joe’s face.

Obama has already said he will support him and he certainly will. He’s already done worse– remember he supported John Barrow.

Yeah, that matches up with what I was thinking the other day. We keep hearing all this crap about America being a center-right nation, but all of the polling data for the past 30 years shows the American people support Democratic policies over Republican policies by substantial (60-70%) margins. So why can’t Dems win elections? Because, as you say, most of the Democratic leadership and establishment (as opposed to rank and file membership) are center-right. So voters get a choice between Republicans and Republican-Lites and opt for the real thing.

In Texas they make it with armadillos, so it has a crispier crust.

Yum ((Rond)))
One Hundred Days!!! Yes, I’m watching Colbert.

Okie stir fry.

I thought I had heard that, but wasn’t sure. Thanks.

I have come to hate the $$#%@!! U.S. Senate. Most of them are hideous corrupt nonentities. Why some of those old hysterical male crones and ridiculous blowhards have not all overmonied, morally debauched, and boozed themselves to death already, I do not know.

The WORST deliberative body in the world!

Certainly the most pompous and one of the most useless. most dangerously obstructionist.

Shorter Dr. Dick: Voters are stupid.

I’ve seen quite enough of Arlen’s act as head of the SJC to even wanna think about him wandering around the halls of the SC.

although you do make a point – he’d fit right into the weasel-wing of the current Court.

That’s how they do it? Oh, man.

Not saying a word..

04/05/2009 ‘Former US House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Sunday blasted the Obama administration for setting itself on a collision course with Israel and endangering the Zionist entity, ahead of his address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

“They are systematically setting up the most decisive confrontation that we’ve ever seen,” the leading Republican politician told The Jerusalem Post, referring to news reports about the administration’s approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

“There’s almost an eagerness to take on the Israeli government to make a point with the Arab world,” he said, speaking to the Post ahead of his speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s annual conference.

He called US President Barack Obama’s program of engagement on Iran a “fantasy,” and his Middle East policies “very dangerous for Israel.” He summed up Obama’s approach as “the clearest adoption of weakness since Jimmy Carter.”‘

Why some of those old hysterical male crones and ridiculous blowhards have not all overmonied, morally debauched, and boozed themselves to death already, I do not know.

Only the good die young and hell is a little crowded right now, so Old Nick ain’t collecting on his debts for the time being.

As Dick Durbin pointed out last week, the banks (and other moneyed interests) own the Senate. Most of our elected officials represent The Villagers, they just give the voters a little lip-service when it’s time for reelection.

Kinda funny, but I doubt that. Sad, huh?

I saw some pictures of an old cartoon strip, from before my time. These cartoons featured a “Senator Snort” Ol’ Senator Snort would be better.

What cartoon was that? Any books with good old Senator Snort in them.

Now we have 40 to 50 Senator Snots, counting the Bayh CCC (Corrupt and Cowardly Caucus), and it aint pretty.

Is this not, though, an accurate reflection of the very intent of a Republic, which allows the voters to select which of their betters should make decisions for them?

Specter to SCOTUS was orginally another commenters idea. So I was just asking for opinions.

Maybe I was hallucinating. Or maybe I need a drink.

Not really. Given a choice between something and a cheap imitation at the same price, most people would chose the real thing. What I am saying is we have a really stupid Democratic leadership. Obama won by at least giving the illusion of giving voters a real choice and endorsing some seriously liberal positions. Do not believe for a moment that he is anything other than a moderate (possibly a bit left leaning on some issues), but he gave the people an actual choice.

If you have ever been in Oklahoma in August, you know that that asphalt will fry anything in about a minute.

Here’s a nice chamomille tea. I guess you could add a shot of something, if you’d like.

Here’s an interesting thought from Andrew Sullivan (via Susan G.)

So ask yourself: if Abu Zubaydah had been raped 83 times, would we be talking about no legal consequences for his rapist – or the people who monitored and authorized the rape?

If you are contemplating Specter for SCOTUS, you need several (I know I would).

…hell is a little crowded right now,…

and I’ll again point out that Thailand, Egypt and Syria always seem to have some rooms to spare…

In the meantime, I wonder if they could just give those fuckers little beepers like they do at restaurants. “Senators Inhofe, Bond, Coburn – your spots in the inferno section are now ready…”

Oh, I believe you! Never been. Maybe I’ll pass. Would much rather visit you in Montana.

Welcome to the House of Lords.

If we are lucky, and the population has has enough reality therapy, what we have right now is a transitional phase.

If the GOP stays the same, what competition will they offer.

Next step is a big push to improve Senate next election. Give Obama enough Senators to prevent filibuster nonsense, and enough with guts to push him to do what he promised to do.

Arlen is a formidable legal expert and scholar. After the Clarence Thomas confirmation, Arlen turned feminist. He is firm that Roe v. Wade is settled law. Most important, during his own confirmation hearings, we get to hear him tell us about his crackpot single-bullet theory back when he knew Earl Warren. Last time he was asked, he said it still holds up, no one ever disproved it. Funnier than Scalia. Matthews is a loyal Democrat in the Jesuit tradition and would vote Dem blindfolded. Maybe not call Jane’s show Hardball, maybe Good Cop, Badminton.

Much nicer here in August. There are reasons I no longer live in Oklahoma.

Oops, should have at least said ‘Evening all’ first before jumping straight OT..:(

Thnx for suggestion.

The horrible phantasms of Senator Matthews and Justice Specter are stuck in my head, thanks to deviltry on the part of previous commenters.

So, yeah, a nice herb tea with carefully measures and correct fraction of Everclear may loom in my future tonight.

Thanks watertiger! I’ve been calling Specter “Flipper”. Even asked Tengrain to put his face onto a dolphin for me.

No.No.No. … Jane replaces JoeScar, Marcy replaces Tweety and Christy hosts MTP.

That way, Da Peanut still has Mommy around.

Anyone know where I can read more cartoons of “Senator Snort”?
What cartoon was that. Who did it? Anyone know.

I want to teabag some Senatorial offices with Senator Snort cartoons.

This happens every day, in every prison in America, as a matter of policy, and is accepted as part of the sentence by both prison officials and the public at large. Convicted? Rape is part of your sentence. I guess what I’m saying is, if it were rape, we probably wouldn’t have heard of it at all. He would be receiving the same level of protection American prisoners receive which would make it all okay.

Well Israel is suddenly willing to discuss the two state solution.

It’s infuriating that Obama, Biden, Donna Reid et al have permitted a total ass wipe like Specter to join the Democratic party, but it would be perverse to consider for even a moment nominating a gutless fuck like Specter to the Supreme Court. What a fucking embarrassment it is to now belong to the same political party as Arlen Specter. Thanks a lot Barack and Donna.

There are reasons I no longer live in Oklahoma.

Inhofe and Coburn?

It probably does resemble the vision of many of the founders, who were aristocrats themselves. All men created equal but rich white men more equal than others.

It is the duplicity that bothers me most, feigned desire to serve all Americans when in reality they serve only a privileged few.

What scares me now is that all of the “moderate Republicans” will migrate over to the Democratic Party and align with our own Blue Dogs and centrists to finalize the party’s shift to a center-right party (now that the Republican Party has laid claim to the batshit crazy far right fringe). That has really been happening for quite a while. Neither of the Clintons (or really Obama for that matter) is much to the left of Nixon, Ford, or Rockefeller.

No one wants to break the U.S. Armed Forces and replace them with Blackwater bring the Troops home
more than I do !

There’s a little restaurant we frequent, maybe once a week, where the waitress knows to bring me an herbal tea and a small chardonnay. Mixed together, it works for me. Takes me the whole dinner to get through it and then when I get home….zzzz. Happy Demi.

Arlen is a formidable legal expert and scholar.

and has made quite a nice career for himself in keeping those qualities far, far away from his voting record.

Welcome to LateNite.
Need something, just ask.

But, honey, remember a coupla summers ago? I remember you had to take a lot of cold showers? Did you ever get a/c?

After Arlen retires from the court, CHS gets the seat. It just takes patience, but not much.

That’s two of them. Actually got out just ahead of the lunatics taking over the asylum. That and summers there cured me of any idea of ever going back.

that is precisely it.
He is a shockingly good lawyer in a world of politics. Dude has some serious skills, and they are in evidence, but not in practice.

Welcome!

RonD !

Excellent counterpoint !

…feigned desire to serve all Americans when in reality they serve only a privileged few.

The founding myth of American “democracy”.

Some like Hamilton wanted to restrict the vote to rich white men. Really hated and feared the rabble. Of course, when I contemplate my fellow Okies, I understand the sentiment.

I don’t know who first floated the idea of nominating Specter but there isn’t a chance in hell of it happening. It might be early in Obama’s presidency but he is concerned enough about creating a legacy not to put a 79-year-old on the Supreme Court, even if it were someone qualified, which Specter is not.

Love Train, Love Train!!

I agree. And I don’t agree with you all that often!

That is why I think big push for a few more, and much better, Democrats in the Senate most important thing in next election.

That will be grassroots thing, since Democratic leadership have no interest in such a thing.

Some new independents and conservative Democrats will go back to GOP, after the crazies burn down the party into a cold bed of ashes.

In some ways, wrt to domestic economic initiatives, moderate liberal Democrats are to the right of Nixon. But Nixon understood very little about economics, and saw it is a form of crowd control, a kind of technocratic bread and circses, and he let his technocrat Rockafeller Republican economists tell him what to do -so we had more liberal proposasl back them (except for when some bigshots saw a main chance at big bugs, in which case Nixon listened to them, and that is how we got US-style managed health care).

Prolly someone linked to the MSM, so they can bring up the story and mock teh bloggers for being silly …

A freak occurrence actually (though we have had a string of unusually hot summers). Summer temps normally average in the 70s-80s with less than a week of days over 90 total. Doesn’t really rain much at all either (less than an inch a month in the summer).

Hey, Petrocelli!

You wouldn’t believe how many HS students I’ve met whose knowledge of Canada is drawn from South Park.

Hope you and yours are well..

Just what was in that Herbal Tea ? *g*

(((demi)))

Justice CH Smith sounds so very all-American. I think we can slip that by them! It just might work.

Last November Oklahoma voted for McCain by more than 30 points. Highest margin in the country. As I’ve mentioned, I have family in Oklahoma… not the most fair-minded folks around.

Think I’m calling it a night. Splendid evening to all.

Really hated and feared the rabble. Of course, when I contemplate my fellow Okies, I understand the sentiment.

heh.

Not the Isaac Hayes episode, I hope. *g*

We’re fine thanks, how’s your family ?

G’nite ratfood

Night.

I don’t think they really want to discuss anything to do with Palestine or the Palestinian people..

JERUSALEM –’ Israel warned the European Union on Thursday to tone down its criticism of the new Israeli government or risk forfeiting the bloc’s role as broker in Mideast peace efforts.

The warning came after EU’s commissioner for external relations, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, this week criticized Israel’s refusal to endorse a Palestinian state. She said an upgrade in Israeli-EU relations would depend on Israel’s commitment to the “two-state solution.”‘

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/200…..srael_eu_2

Soft landings to you, ratfood.

Hamilton was unstable. He was a radical for the time in terms of advocating for a very wide franchise for the House. He was very aggressive abolitionist, and helpled free blacks to get the right to vote. He got rocks done throwed at him while escorting an African American family to vote.

Even though Hamilton was unstable, weird, and could not keep it zipped up, he would be a vast improvement over our modern day conservatives.

He hated speculators (maybe because so many specultators hoodwinked him and got him into trouble).

It seems the only way to get Jane her own MSNBC show! And everyone would understand it’s the reason for Obama’s nominating Arlen!

Nuttin’ tonight. It was on a commercial, and I just had to share.
Petro! Hugs and all that!
I must be mozzying (???) on myself.
As cbl2 says, Mad Liberal Love to All! Or something like that.

thanks to demi for suggestion on herb tea with chardonnay. I know just enough about wine to know how to make that.

Doing well, thanks.
The kids in HS don’t know that the US and Canada are allies, but they all know the “Blame Canada” song from the SP movie.

Speaking of lunatics running the asylum. I really think they are trying for the “no state” solution at this point.

LOL … I’m surprised teh Snowbirds in Florida haven’t spread more Canuck History in the Sunshine State.

Much as I love Jane, there are some sacrifices that I simply will not make.

Has anyone ever posed the hypothetical to Jane? Seems like it would be a tad confining. I certainly can’t speak for her but I get the impression she enjoys being a free agent.

Welcome, hon. Something about the heat of the tea gets the chardonnay going, but it’s nice and light. Like a hot spritzer, or something. Enjoy.

Hamas Leader has trumped Benny by coming out in favor of a 2-State solution and halting Rocket attacks
on Israel – from NYT

Very wrong. (I’m a contibutor of $$ to firedoglake.) But I used to live in PA, and I will assure you that Arlen is very funny.

What cartoon was that. Who did it?

George M. Lichtenstein’s Grin and Bear It.

Saw that earlier. Netanyahu is a serious whack job and scares the shit out of me.

the “no state” solution

As an activist said to me recently, “It’s not the State of Israel, it’s the Land of Israel, and God gave it to us!”

I mildly opined that it should then be no problem to produce the signed title.

I didn’t realize that you started the “Specter for SCOTUS” meme, I thought you were just repeating it.

I rest my case.

Yea … the problem is finding the eyewitnesses. *g*

Israel have always pushed back really hard against any rejection of its polices, but it has never had to be this ‘public’ before. And, the push back against the Israeli Gov and Policies from the rest of Europe and here has never been this hard. Interesting times…

Hey Spurious. LTNS!

Time for me to turn into a pumpkin. Just have to get through this week’s lectures and finals week (and the 80 term papers I am currently grading) and I get a whole week off.

No kidding. Hamas is sounding like the rational group.

Night sleepy ones.

G’nite Sir !

‘night, Dr. Dick. Always a sublime pleasure.

I might not sleep tonight … quite wound up after watching the Ovechkins beat the Crosbys.

It wasn’t a meme I started, whoever picked it up would have started it, no? Mr. Obama didn’t have a good time of it in PA during the primary season. It’s a touchy situation. Not without complexities.

Are these hockey teams, Petro?

Ovechkins beat the Crosbys

*very quietly, but with feeling*
go caps

Ovechkins = Washington Capitals
Crosbys = Pittsburgh Penguins

… and it was a FAN-tastic hockey game !

Sorry if anything in my comment(s) seemed derogatory toward you. Do you think Specter for SCOTUS is a real possibility ?

I think BO will pick a female, minority nominee but I don’t know enough to guess who that might be.

The Lightning were so bad this year, I just haven’t been able to bring myself to watch the playoffs.

Me too ! I’ve said it for a couple of years now … O Vee is the most exciting player since Gretzky and tonight, he took control of this series.

Missed it all, and am not happy about it…

Night, all.

Every year, the League attains greater parity, despite that yutz, Bettman.

There have been some great series thus far … worth watching, even with the sub par videography in some
Murkan Arenas.

‘night, Loo.

(((Loo Hoo)))

(((Loo Hoo)))

Sweet Dreams !

May they all trip on each other running towards peace! And may they all make it to the finish line!

thanks!
Grin and Bear It by George “Lichty” Lichtenstein

I did a search, but not much on the internet.

But it turns out that the Grin and Bear It cartoon lives on, done by two folks anointed by Lichty, and here is a recent one featuring Senator Snort

I’ll add that Arlen (and only 2 other Republicans) voted with the Dems on the Recovery Act a few days after Justice Ginsburg was hospitalized.

For you NBA fans … was Craig Sager a Used Car Salesman before joining TNT ?

Wonderful sentiment, Betsy !

Crosby & Ovechkin both scored Hat Tricks … Ovechkin’s Hat trick goal was the game winner.

Do you think that Specter felt free to do so because he already knew he was leaving the R party?

yawns, stretches

his goofy votes, that contradict over half of the sensible things he says

Indeed. Totally unprincipled.

Hi, TexBetsy!

Specter has been a great stickhandler … too bad his skill was used only to keep his Seat.

No apology, please! I was only playing. But I don’t think Arlen would be getting all this abuse if ol’ Strom were still around.

Have you heard from Nahant this week ?

Oh no, Arlen is particularly disliked around here … as are HoJo & BigJohn.

Just so we’re clear, my earlier comment was not meant to brand you as a troll/MSM tool.

Indeed. Totally unprincipled.

Which truly makes him one of the club.
BTW, your suggestion the other night, on how to properly celebrate May Day, was a big hit in these parts…

Yeah, I had lunch over there the day of the aborted procedure. They are all good.

Hi Petro(:>)) I am here Lurking…

ROFL … Phil Jackson jokingly berates Carl Sager’s ridiculous “Bozo the Clown” Jacket

Nahant !

Thanks for the update, newt … I haven’t been around here much the past couple of weeks.

Adding this comment to synopsis in my new book, “Why On Earth Would You Pay Attention to the NBA?“

By the way my Liver Doc called today to make sure I understood all that he had told me. Also that the six Radiologist were banging their heads over my case at Friday’s get together. The consensus is no Cancer and all this time it has been Hemangioma!!!! This means no transplant, they will have me get CT scans every three months or so for at least a year. But now I can start living a life again without waiting for “The CALL”.

Thanks for asking Petro(:>))

LOL … Touche !

Good to hear, dude !

I’d better get back to writing … G’nite all !

It became so silly a few years ago that the most serious player was Barkley. I could not look anymore.

nite petro

Nite Petro!!

g’nite from the Great Swamp, Petrocelli!

(((Petrocelli)))

Arlen’s disliked here, from what I’ve gathered, owing to his Bush work while chair of Judiciary. Evidently he had to make a deal with Rove or whomever if he was going to have that chair. But imagine the effect of Arlen being nominated: Obama sends a nuclear message to guys like Scalia and Thomas – ol’ Arlen can tell all of them that they lied to him, Arlen, in Congress! Also, I’d love to have Arlen Specter in my bubble-gum card collection of Supreme Court Justices.

What great news! Life is sweet. Happy dreams.

Disliked for a number of reasons, none the least of which is his performance on Judiciary both in the majority and the minority.

But, what kinda brain-donor would appoint a known Conservative without a compass, with a history of heart surgery, brain tumors and recurring Hodgkin’s Disease, and who negotiated his way past Harry Reid (OK, negotiating past Reid isn’t really a challenge…)?

Still pinching myself now and then to make sure I am not dreaming… This has been a two year roller coaster ride…. Yeow!!

g’night pups. zzzZZzz

Good night, all. The best of all possible tomorrows to you all.

nite Betsy…. Sleep well sweetie..

nite rond..

What does that word mean that you DO have? Never heard of it. Maybe shouldn’t ask so don’t answer if you don’t want to.

Twain follow the link it will explain what it is and the ramifications of having Hemangioma. Unless it causes symptoms they do nothing.

Specter is the same guy who said, “Look! A magic bullet!”, so as of right now, he can’t be believed no matter how much that DINO RINO screams!

I can’t believe Senator gave that tasty sound bite. In an deeply insulted tone Senator Specter says: “I did not say I am a loyal Democrat”. That is perfect for Democratic primary ad.
