Politics, news, current events, entertainment, sports and anything else that catches my interest. Monday, October 31, 2005.

Committee more or less party line vote, maybe one Dem in favor. Floor vote in low to mid 60's, depending on how well he performs in committee. Once he starts his contest. Posted by TR at 8:59 PM.

Politics, news, current events, entertainment, sports and anything else that catches my interest. Thursday, April 21, 2005.

Wednesday, April 20, 2005. A bill currently pendin...

This film is both visually stunning and emotionally moving. It pays tribute to the ordinary people around us who are doing extraordinary things. And this brings me to an interesting point. While many in the me...
