1. you got a time table for the vote on

funding new nuclear weapons? I can't remember exactly the name of it but I'm pretty sure it was coming to a vote in the senate sometime soon

3. I think that would be on Defense Appropriations...

since I can't find the amendment, and the bill is in conference, it probably didn't pass.

2. Byrd now on

discussing No Child Left Behind underfunding.

4. Biden kept asking

over and over, What's changed that they shouldn't get OT?

The obvious ans- HIGHER productivity! Work harder, earn less.

[Rose Siding]

5. Hear Me!

Doncha love it when he throws his arm in the air and shouts the proclaimation, "Hear me!". Truths dangerous to Bush are sure to follow.

6. I LOVE how Byrd

always heaps praise on his opponents before
he reveals the IDIOCY and HYPOCRICY of their
last inference and attack on his absolutley concrete points.
He is SO gratious while being deadly!

7. Will the Harkin Amendment protecting overtime be considered at that time?

If at all.

According to this today was the day:

8. Repugs are delaying the vote.

The presidential candidates are present today but planned not to be there tomorrow, so they want to delay the vote until tomorrow.

Scum.

9. I missed what Frist just said

Did he specify when (at least what day) the Harking amendment on overtime would be voted on?
