CNN has some more news about the earthquake now. [link]
The earthquake occurred in the Banda Sea about 120 miles south of Ambon city, the USGS said. It occurred at a depth of 212 miles.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said no destructive tsunami threat existed.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
I ated too much chipotle...
mwah! I love lisah.
I ated too much mashed potatos.
Looks like Clinton will back the fillibuster. Still won't go anywhere though.

Also it looks like the admendment to ban gay marriage will make it to the floor just in time for midterm elections.

But of course it isn't politically motivated.
Okay, I was momentarily hopeful about the possibility of a fillibuster, but if that's the math, then fuck.
Really, I just have no words.
Actually, as much as I would like to see the Dems doing something to show opposition to Alito, I do have to go along with what AmericaBlog says:
Some day Democrats will learn what Republicans have long known. It takes a campaign to win an issue. When the Democrats and their traditional million-dollar non-profits learn that lesson, and implement it, then I'll be all in favor of a filibuster. But a filibuster without the campaign will not only fail, it will convince already spineless Democrats that the filibuster itself was a mistake because it was a filibuster, not because the filibuster wasn't supported with a real public relations campaign. Democrats will learn the wrong lesson from their failure, and they'll end up even wimpier/Caseyer/Liebermaner next time.
I have real concerns over the Dems' chances in 2008. If they don't suck it up and finally show that they are the opposition party, and not just Republicans Lite, than they no chance in hell of winning.
I believe because drinking myself to death will be messier on me than on average.
I ated too much mashed potatos
MY FAVORITE!
I told my 7 year old mad genius niece that I ated too much pie at Thanksgiving and she was all, "Der, Aunt Lisa, it's 'I
ate
too much pie."
I need the Minister of Kill the Stupid People, STAT.
There is a very stupid messenger service which has lost a very important package of mine, and doesn't seem to understand that since they delivered it to the WRONG ADDRESS I can't give them the number where it was delivered. I can only give them the number where it was SUPPOSED TO BE DELIVERED.
Fuck fuckity fuck stab stab fuck.
Even better are garlic mashed potatoes, and if some of the skin is left in...yummmm.
ETA--Jessica, that sucks big time. Is there a NYC branch of the Ministry you can call?
