Telling a story about a lawyer giving answers to a judge, "How did you get here." A good opening to expressing a sense of obligation to give meaningful answers to the committee. Giving his personal growing up story now ... interesting, and sets a simple foundation for following testinony, in that he comes off as unpretentious, direct, honest and forthcoming.
Thanks ! She does have a nice face!
Doesn't sound like Laut can read...
but, Kennedy was just as bad...and Durbin wasn't great.
Laut just sounds like such a dunce.
I have to now...and pick up Kailey...
Take good notes...BBL
Appears collagen blessed. Nice skin!
My sample set of time-measurements is from a four nozzle high-volume station, no windshields, just cheap gas. Two attendants, most of the time. I suspect that an attended station where the attendant had to handle more than two and sometimes four nozzles at a tme would not achieve 100 second turns, would be much slower. Too much movement and waiting at the pump.
Try selling that to Dan Rather.
The usual sound-bite rhetoric from the usual players. You'll get up to speed in no time, there were only a handful (half a dozen or so) significant "events" in the day.
:-) Bye now!
He's speaking without notes, and did you notice how slowly he opened and poured the water, took a drink..he made THEM wait for HIM..a subtle gauntlet tossed down, perhaps?
Except me. It clashes with my red hair. :)
Alito talking about his college years.
I sure hope so.
LOL. Alito contrasts some of the nuttiness he saw on campus by the privileged with the good folks from back home. SMACK!
:-) Even so, I think that there's a shade for you. But you may be happier in another color.
Oh....I didn't know that...thanks for letting me know.
I obviously don't know anything about THAT Tom Kean..hopefully, he is better than his father...LOL
:-) That's okay, I am multitasking.
BTW shall we propose a puppet show to entertain the senior Dems on the committee?
Maybe Moveon turned their chips off?
Then green or royal blue is your color. I have a few redheaded lady friends, and they tend to look best in those colors. Then again, you probably know that already. ;-)
