6. nope. not a fuck.

unfortunately when he goes kentucky is unlikely to elect anyone decent.

[Achilleaze]

7. Since he's a Senator, if he kicks bucket then wouldn't the governor make an appoitment?

I think that's how it works...not like the House.

11. no, not in this case......

I believe the legislature passed a bill allowing them to chose the next senator, or at least to allow for a special election. They didn't want a dem getting to appoint the senator if mitch resigned or otherwise stopped being senator.

19. I'm Wondering If He Broke His Hip

Saw an interview w/Sen. Barrasso and he mentioned that Grassley had broken his hip and is doing just fine. Random thought or inside info?

advil, and stay away until your temperature rises to 105. Then, maybe, we'll treat you, if we think the law allows it."
