1. Thanks!

I'm on it. Spot Kerry yet?

2. No. I was unaware of this hearing

until I clicked on the Sen ForRelComm web site to see what was up for the week.

They had a headline that this hearing was going on. I have no idea who is there and who isn't. (And in an obsessive compulsive kinda way, I could swear I heard that throat-clearing that is so familiar. Sounds like somone I deeply respect is there, but I could be wrong.)

BTW: This could have been a last-minute event. It's interesting to note that it is happening on a Monday morning. Sen. Kerry usually doesn't arrive in DC for the week until later on Monday. Hmmmmmmmm.

3. I hope Kerry is there

This is just what he has been talking about since 2003.

Smackdown on the 'getting help from Foreign Nations in the ME' idea. Would love the hear some good questioning from Kerry on that one.

4. Is Lugar

Is Lugar ever going to give someone else a chance to ask questions ? Geez.

5. I do't think so

I don't think they get questions. Just testimony from the witnesses.
