Hearings this week, kind of busy |
|
There are hearings in Finance and SFRC that could be interesting.
Looks like Dr. Death (Frist) is determined to bring the torture bill to the floor in an attempt to make the US and officially oppressive and outlaw nation in the world community. Guess you gotta have a hobby. Frist's is showing what a good Christian he is by allowing his government to torture people, most of whom he himself has acknowledged are innocent. Hmmmm, who would Jesus torture anyway?

5. Oh, this one looks interesting. Anytime the wonderful Senator Kerry |
|
and the warped and nasty Bolton are in the same room, things get a little heated.

but it's also depressing. Millions of lives are at risk in Darfur and that should be beyond politics and the US should respond to a humanitarian crisis. But the Bushies like Bolton just don't care. This could wind up being one of the more depressing events of the year as Bolton just blusters his way through the failures of this Admin while people die.
Sigh! I am not actually looking forward to this. It's just too frustrating and sad.

9. I understand how you feel. It is frustrating the way this administration |
|
ignores the situation in Darfur. Maybe the senator can get Bolton to admit to or say something that will demonstrate how cold and uncaring this administration really is.

4. Ironic that the "religious" right elected Bush, Frist and |
|
the others pushing to torture people. I think they need a lot more Jesus and a lot less Robertson/Dodson/Falwell.

7. Plus, this one this afternoon, |
|
a must-see, I believe:
Oversight Hearing on Iraq War Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) chairs a Senate Democratic Policy Cmte. hearing on the planning and conduct in the War in Iraq. Major General John R.S. Batiste, U.S. Army (Ret.) and other former military officers are scheduled to testify on lessons learned and corrections that should be made going forward. MONDAY, C-SPAN3, 1:30PM ET

10. Absolutely, it will dove-tail nicely with the hearing this AM |
|
The Senator from MA will probably not be there. I believe he will stay in-state in order to attend the gubernatorial debate tonight (though I could be wrong here.)
