people actually think we respect time, some, but certainly not all. They often remind me of MSM talking heads.

This reminded me of what they showed as far as house mechanics is concerned. I usually watch it online since my system hd C-Span 1 very well. No, I got no idea where the hell it is.

This, somebody will write a story of this. What I am hoping is this is the end of the non compromise era. Incidentally this is Newt Gingritch and Denny Hastert's gift to the country.

I just hope they learn something from it and the reprise in two months is less painful. I'm not counting on it either.

Medicare part D, I was in Hawaii. After the 15 minutes they broke them rules and kept the floor open for three hours. It was...a coup.

Bloviating, indeed. But a minute does not allow much puffery. Regardless, they try.

The House is a circus.
