45. Not for Senator Reid, though--he once read his own book for 8 hours straight |

51. That's right. Mormons don't drink coffee do they? |
|
I didn't know about him reading his book for 8 hours! :)
Was it Strom Thurmond or Robert Byrd who had cots brought to the senate floor?

19. Hasn't Reid planned to do this for some time |
|
in order to prevent recess appointments? I was thinking this morning that it would be a great plan for the Dems to stay in session in August in contrast to the Iraqi parliament.

At least bu$h won't be able to do recess appointments of Joe Camel, the Wallmart smiling incubus or some other corporate mascot at this time.

Now maybe the GOP will get serious and deal with some of the business the House has passed that is stagnating in their "to do" bin.

it's like a slap in the faces of the Iraqi parliment and Bushco too. Shows just how much * thinks vacation is more important than saving the lives of any more American soldiers.

For so long now I've thought privately "If I were Harry I would keep the senate open 24/7 until things get done". I've thought that so many times and always wished so much he would do something so ballsy.
