I'MMA LET YOU FINISH

Well, Fred, I will take 'em all. 10 bucks. 10 percent vig?
I predict that sometime soon a Senator will explore an inner thigh. Then vote against Sotomayor.
I'm going on record as 76 yea votes.
I will put quatloos out there that the votes to confirm Sotomayor will be in the 90s if not unanimous.
This provides cover for the next time, when they can say "See? We voted for Soto, we're not just partisan 'n' shit, we think this [liberal!!!OMG!!] one is really unqualified and radical and out to destroy America as we know it. also."
Actually Chic, I think Huckleberry is in the bag. So to speak.
(Still astounded that Schuster did a four minute teabagging bit, and pursed up like Mrs Grundy on emptywheel's "blowjob.")
I wonder if any of these senators ever walk around a college campus today and look at the mix of skin tones, ethnicities and so on and not realize this is the inevitable future demographic of the US.
Get over it guys. We'll do it with or without you.

Good point. They may just all cave. Thing is, if they do, well my over/under on a strong public option bill in the senate is at least as high.
Mitchipoo may lose control of the caucus. In fact, I think he will. The question is preventing corrupt Dem senators from stripping the bill.
I'm hoping it 51 to 47. Make Obama realize bipartisanship is a pipe dream.
Blowjob. As if school kids weren't taught that word by the insane froth-mouthed pundits who were irresponsibly speculating at that point in their eagerness to destroy Clinton.
I'm amazed they didn't have diagrams...
"John makes a good point in that what the U.S. does alone will not solve the ability of OPEC to hold other countries hostage if they wish."
I disagree. We don't use our leverage as the world's largest consumer at all. Pulling 11 million barrels of crude demand off the import market would gut global prices.
Who will be the nays?
Inhofe
Coburn
Sessions
Brownback
DeMint
Chambliss
Cornyn
Kyl
Murkowski
Roberts
Shelby
Vitter
McCain
Barrasso

No chance of that. There are 18 2010 republicans. And four women. This was a lock from the outset. And now, after the hearings so far, they have to do damage control.
Now lurking.
Marcie should've said Rainbow party.

And that the kids today have gay friends as well. And nobody but religious maniacs gives a crap.
(posted downstairs due to not paying attention to thread count):
Gene Clark on vocal, David Crosby of Crosby Stills Nash and Young on rhythm guitar and the rest doing the perkiest 'break-up' song of all time.
Gene Clark was great!

AO, you should post that song next time you see SallyH here. I know she knows it but there is a chance Mlle does not. and she is the first person I though of when it played. 
Who will be the first right wing justice to go down?

Lots and lots of fucking republican senators have gay friends. and nobody but religious maniacs give a crap.
This, plus the GOP racism DNA is spelling their doom.
and now I am really shutting the fuck up.

I did see it on the dead thread.
Thanks for the idea.

I know, I was just hoping to piss off the admin enough to light a fire.

I believe Alito & Roberts a pervs.

Nick! Storm pass?

It would have some effect, no doubt, though I'm not sure what the net effect would be (because U.S. is both a consumer and a producer).
But the sellers of oil have a coalition which works as a monopoly seller, so the determination of prices isn't quite the same as it would be in a competitive market. How much they'd drop is harder to predict because of the sellers' ability to manipulate quantity-price combinations.

oops, meant to finish by saying the 'safe room' idea worked.

g'night.

Well that was a quick drive-by, Nick. Sweet dreams to you for the rest of the night. And thanks.
Every barrel of oil is sold 27 times from production to delivery. control that to producers only and cut 20 steps would do a lot for pricing.
groggy & not waking up well, so going with it. now out.
ack, fading, nite all.
Crude oil trade is on the order of 44 million b/d. The US accounts for 11 million of that in the form of imports.
OPEC accounts for 25 million b/d in exports, with the Persian Gulf region at 16.5.
Pull 11 million of out of that market, and someone's going to eat it. OPEC doesn't have enough discipline to throttle back that much production to maintain prices.
EU27 makes up another 11 million in net imports.
ack, fading, nite all.

g'night!
I'm probably next on the runway!

ack, No how'd the war turn out?
G'night Xan. Sweet dreams.
OK folks. I'm #1 on the runway to Dreamland. Thanks to everyone for comments, not feeding trolls and invitations to far away places.
See you all soon!

I guess I'll be one of the last left standing tonight. I hope the new Harry Potter film is not a really long one . . .
Agent O, it is late there, isn't it? I forget the time difference.
I don't know what I'll do once school starts and I have to start operating on a conformist schedule again. Ick.

Seems like I recall reading it is about 2 and a half hours.

you? I've haven't had a set schedule for the better part of 4 years. Went from 12 hr days 7 days a week for 13 years to zero. Having a hell of a time reawakening.
G'night then, Agent O. Sweet starry dreams.

1Watt, what do you do with all that time? It's got to be great.
Toonscribe, I was afraid it was on the long side. Most of them have been, iirc.
The theater is about 30 minutes away, so I'm thinking it will be after 3 before the daughter gets home. Ugh.
You might want to have a look at some of the documentaries on Hazil Adkins as well. Some of the folks in "Dancing Outlaw" also show up in a couple of those documentaries.
I don't think voting against SSm hurts even vulnerable Republicans much, may even help. I think Repubs are banking on perceptions of failure to restore the economy in 2010 and thus will benefit from having obstructed Obama maximally. 65 ayes, maybe 64.
77 Aye, 21 Nay and the media will interpret it as a giant slapdown of the President and his "controversial" nominee.
Next time-if there is one-he should pick a real liberal and see what happens.
