and he had to water down Civil Rights somewhat to get that done too.

Especially in light of the fact that LBJ DIDN’T get it done. I doubt in those days it was a high priority though.

Cronyism on the Dem side the Crony who lets everyone take advantage of them in order to be liked. And then insists that they are not being taken advantage of.

Good idea. I really liked Royko. I remember the comments from Nancy’s daughter – she just didn’t get it that she was talking to people who actually know what’s going on, when and where. Dumb.

Great way to get local interest a joint FDL conservative blog with such a comment policy would really rake them in and probably give the Mods a heart attack.

I caught some snippy comments from Nancy’s daughter once at FDL something about me not knowing the Legislative process and how things are done.
Everything I know I learned reading Mike Royko oh and school of course. If Nancy fails to get a vote on this I just might dig those comments up for a Diary.

PW, were you able to decrypt the conundrum of Ross owning 100% of the stock of the company he allegedly “sold?”

Mysterious.

The one I saw was male. He seemed hesitant to muck in with the other birds, preferring to snag seed scattered around the periphery. I should have kept a camera handy, could have gotten some great shots of him perched on the side of the bath.

What I was reading a little while ago said the rosebreasted grosbeak is part of the Cardinal family. The behavior I witnessed was similar. The cardinals will mix some with other varieties but tend to be a little shy.
