Bye, everyone. Hopefully we'll hear about Tony's decision soon.
OK...I was going to go there anyway, but I need a Rush fix today...I have to wait until tomorrow.
"Martin Sheen, thanks for the call" ROFL!

Just so you are not the one who said that they took all of the passengers off of Flight 93 and are hiding them in a NASA facility. :)
All the credible reviews have praised this movie .. even Roger Ebert .. and said it is so well done, true to the real story, and a portion of the proceeds will go to building the Flight 93 memorial in Shanksville.

Never Forget!!
If it even looks like a remote possibility, we need to bombard all Republican senators to pick someone else - I sure will! Of course, the media might be a help for once, if they bring up all the BS about why Lott stepped down in the first place.
ROFL!
Sorry I went away for a while to get some things done.
I was working at the library yesterday and I am reading a newspaper from a small town in Missouri, in 1943. It is just amazing the way the war, and the support for the war in this small farming community was covered in this paper. It's really fabulous social history, and one that you never get by reading the papers in the large urban areas for the same time frame. I was thinking of the conversation you had with your sister about today's war, when I read this from an editorial page:
July 16, 1943
A CHECK-CHART FOR AMERICANS
If you score 90% or higher, you may term yourself a Real American. If you score 80% you are a Good American, and 70% a Fair American. What's your score?
1. Are you buying Bonds on the 5% or 19% Payroll Deduction Plan? If so take 5 points for the 5% or 10 points for the 10%.
2. Have you given blood to the Red Cross or been refused by them? 10 points in either case.
3. Are you growing a Victory Garden? 10 points
4. Have you collected and disposed of all needed scrap materials? 5 points. If your home is saving fats, add 5 more points.
5. If you are a war worker and were not unnecessarily absent a day last month, take 10 points. If you are not a war worker and are enlisted in any volunteer war service, take 10 points.
6. Are you sharing rides, conserving your car, gasoline and rubber? Grade yourself according to your conscience. 10 points for best performance.
7. Are you hoarding unreturned items, or did you buy excessively before rationing began? 10 points if you think you are entitled to them.
8. Did you vote in the last national election. 5 points. Last municipal election? 5 points.
9. Do you repeat rumors that may be harmful to the war effort? Take 10 points if you do not, 5 points if in doubt.
10. Have you helped morale by writing letters or sending gifts to any persons in service? 10 points.
------------------------------------------------
The paper listed by name every person that donated blood, detailed all the supporting work the women's groups were doing, and even published columns suggesting what topics to write to the soldiers about and what not to write to them, which might discourage them or harm their morale!
Imagine that happening today!
"Yep! Checked on some posts he had made to me last week, and they say "removed by administrator"
Oh, no! (I have trouble letting go)
I assume Fox will make it's will known as soon as the White House announcemente becomes clear. If I were Ailes, I'd move John Gibson to mornings where his show will get heard a lot more than at 6 p.m. EST which is when I'm getting ready for Brit.
"Bon Voyage and Good Luck."
You will be deeply missed, my friend. God speed.
I heard you. You did just fine! I would probably just babble nonsense..that's why I have never had the courage to try.
Looks like he's about to walk into the bathroom for a nice long read, or, something else. ick! lol

I could not agree with you more.
The way the senate does business is so BADLY in need of reform. The house got rid of the filibuster 100 years ago. It's anachronistic, and it's time the Senate did the same. Also these senatorial holds are ridiculous. The senators or (patently) no better than anyone else, they are in dire need of a little egalitarianism in that chamber. Either that, or go all the way back to appointment by state legislators. Now that I mention it, I wonder if popular election of senators didn't have a lot to do with the complete loss of sovereignty of the states.
