Filibuster sure didn't do anything other than give us the same vote, by party, that should have been expected anyway.

It's that Too Far vs Not Far Enough mentality...

Pacing for this difficult oeuvre is hard to reduplicate. Did Barney ever sing to the frolicky meter of your last line?

The pacing matches Mairsy Doats perfectly. Referencing the OS to Barney results in a 1 for pacing. As for the rest, I prefer reading prose commentary in Pravda. Therefore, straight 1s. Remember: SPAM spelled backwards is MAPS. Unscrambled, it's AMPS. There's no end to its usefulness, unless ingested.

I thought this was going to be about women senators. I'm bitterly disappointed. And I feel betrayed, devastated, and violated.

"guns don't kill people people kill people" < yes I know that's a tired line but it's true and something these people need to consider when talking of banning guns and such! 455 on an unrelated note Rob I have to ask how goes your Hydrox cookie search? the reason I'm asking is because just last night at my Walmart my brother and I were shopping and in the cookie aisle (where I frequently shop on trips to Walmart :P) said brother pointed out something that took my breath away... they now have Hydrox cookies! naturally we picked up a pack to try 'em and yeeshie wowie are they good! better than Walmart's own Twist & Shouts! and as a frame of reference I like Twist & Shouts better than Oreos! so... yeah... anyway the packaging says on it "We're Back!" so that might explain the difficulty tracking them down in stores... however if my Walmart's got 'em than hopefully your Walmart up in California's got 'em too! if you haven't found them yet give it a look! :)

Thanks for the heads-up, Jon :))

Go figure on all this. Well written take on it all, 5's
