Gud, Kerry is leading a filibuster charge, but it's unlikely to take root.

Got it. The hosts file shows nothing but "localhost".
That's good, at least.
And I'm going to take my dork ass outside with my iPod for a smoke break, where I will blast punk rock and hope my dorkness keeps the construction boys from trying to hit on me or bum a cigarette.

Huh, between the big earthquake and the palistinian situation, I totally missed that story.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
What big earthquake?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I just tried the Senate switchboard -- both Feinstein's and Boxer's lines are busy. I'll keep pestering, though.
John Kerry is totally my Sooper Seekrit Celebrity President. I'm fairly sure the smit first struck when he won the Dem's nomination and Jessica said something about how, between his brains and his long face, she could hardly wait for the debates: it'd be like watching Bush's brain get its ass kicked by a very wise basset hound. Then he went and actually did basset-hound the debates, and then Ohio broke my heart. But he's totally still my SSCP.

Salon's War Room is saying that there are probably five Dems that will vote with the Repubs in approving Alito, and at least three others who won't vote for him, but also won't support a filibuster, which totals up to the 60 votes Frist needs for cloture, so a filibuster ain't gonna happen, unfortunately.
