Help us out here, people. What has been happening this morning?
I've just surfaced from a busy morning away from media of any type. It looks like lots has been happening. Can someone give me a quick list of what's going on and what to attend to at this point?

3. You forgot that we stormed the Iranian Embassy and kicked out Iranians
and gave the embassy to the Kurds.

All illegal of course, but when did that stop us,

5. Thanks. I just caught a bit of a colloqui (sp?) between Byrd and
Kyl and Kyl didn't sound like he was marching in lockstep.

The worm has turned indeed.

12. "Biden said" is too tame
"Biden pounded in words so simple even Bush's pea brain could absorb them" is more like it. I love it when Biden bares his teeth and gets all simian on the Bushie's ass.

2. You missed the Barney Frank/repuke dogfight
Over parlimentary inquiries and points of order that were neither.

13. I heard that, Senator Byrd said he isn't going to go down that road
He is also suffering from a cold. And I found myself answering him saying Iraq did not do anything to us. We may have our issues with him, but he is definitely from the Old School, when the Constitution meant something.

14. No one knows the Constitution like Senator Byrd does.
Yes, he has a cold and the sniffles. :hug: I hope he's taking care of himself. I worry about him now that his wife is gone. :(
