   I’m wondering if this is going to be a ‘cuban missile crisis’ or will the clock actually tick past 12? I’m seriously liking Boxer right now :)

   Well, they sure as heck wouldn’t be on the White House’s Most Favored Femmes list if they were in favor of women’s rights, you know.

   Today I left a terse message for my Senator (Salazar) protesting his participation in the attempt to find a “compromise” with the Right-wingnuts that would allow some of these lunatic nominees to come to a vote.

   Frist doesn’t have the votes to go “nuclear” and if the Democrats and those few, principled Republicans can just keep track of their backbones….

   I am a US Milirary Retired NCO and has spent 20+ years defending the rights that the republican powers to be are trying to take away and I want you all to know that I am behind you all one hundred percent.
   Now if any of you know where I can find a Blog pertaining to military information in the northwest to the left of the right I would appreciate it.

   Hey Kenneth! Thanks for your service and congrats on the retirement. I’m sure it’s been an interesting time to serve.

   The closest thing I know to a west based military blog is the Daily Kos a political blog run by a former Army guy out of San Francisco. Much of what is discussed there is brilliant and enlightening.

   actually, they’re not even attacking their political ideologies (which are shared in many cases by those who’ve been approved), but indications that these justices can’t lay aside their own prejudices in order to follow legal precedent. that’s a job disqualification, pure and simple.

   as for other myths related to the filibuster, I recommend
   Media Matters top 10 fibs list
