1. Excellent news.

Will the revolution be televised??

[Laura PourMeADrink]

2. great question. I'll see if I can find out ....

[welshTerrier2]

3. they heard your message!

this is excellent news ...

as we discussed yesterday, calling for suspension of security clearance, or better yet a leave of absence, is exactly the right position for Democrats to take ...

those who called for his firing were jumping too far ahead ...

4. they heard YOUR message !!!! Smarty Pants ! FYI.......

my cable is offering a free week of major league pass ! Yahoo -- My assignment in dc is over and I can watch yankees for one week !!!

7. i subscribe to that package ...

i got Direct TV because they used to be the only ones who provided the MLB package ... i think it costs me around $139 a year ...

what really stinks, though, is whenever the Yankees play the Red Sox, i'm stuck listening to the biased Red Sox announcers ... i usually just watch the game and keep the audio muted ...

we gotta get us some more pitching ...

8. fyi - for 3.95 I think, on mlb.com you can get the audio and listen

to wcbs in nyc to the yankee announcers. then you can just tune in on your pc and watch the tv. the only problem is that for some reason the radio is on delay I think. I watch the games on my pc (stick figure simulation). then I tune in to wcbs. the stick figures show the play before the announcer on wcbs calls it. maybe it is the radio via the internet that is delayed.

5. Just called Schumer's office - they think it will be on C-Span 1 or 2

They didn't know for sure, but said "they usually are televised"

10. I think if he loses his security clearance,

he's finished. I know it's not the same as a firing, but losing your security clearance means nobody has faith in you any longer. So it's basically like walking the plank.

I'll lay down $5.00 that if Rove loses that, he's out.:smoke:
