Lot of reading there.

I don’t know, ‘feets, she doesn’t look too bad for her age. I bet she was pretty hot back before rock & roll.

OT: Doctor Utopia making noises about maybe not running in 2012.

this line made me snort milk out my nose:

But consider that Obama was the most reluctant presidential candidate in modern times and that he has a young family.

sooooo reluctant he started campaigning shortly after he became a senator.

I wonder how much Lincoln and Bayh are going to cost ?

If the bidding goes too high look to see Senators, who were yes votes, to move to get in on the action. DiFi and Boxer could likely get a complete California bailout by playing hardball. A hundred million here, a hundred billion there, pretty soon you’re getting into serious change for a hope.

In fact, Reid may have to have a couple of Republicans even if his caucus holds firm. As the Hill reports, Reid can’t count on getting everyone into the chamber for this vote. Max Baucus, who helped put together a different version of the bill, left DC this week to be with his seriously-ill mother. Robert Byrd has been able to attend the Senate only occasionally this year due to his own health problems. Five other Senate Democrats had already arranged a “codel’ — an official travel event — and may not be able to stay in town.

Which should provide a spectacle of ACORN and SEIU members kidnapping Democrat Senators and using whips to drive them screaming onto the floor of the Senate. Prime CSPAN viewing.

What’s maddening is that you have made substantive coherent contributions to conversations here, but it’s exceptionally rare. When you do, it’s great. Otherwise,it’s just poking a wino with a stick, which can be fun, but only for a little while.
