Thanks everybody. One of my fondest memories of Robert was a piece he wrote for six instruments, tenor, and chocolate bunny. Another of our friends, who's a flutist like me, bit off the top of the ears and played it like a pop bottle. Then, during a musical break, the tenor wolfed it down most theatrically. Never laughed so hard at a chamber concert in my life.

Hee.

I suspect I will remember that story forever and ever.

And if not, on the other side of the fence, do we really want, say, South Dakota to know about this rule (in terms of future use)?

I have to agree with Frank here. Not that I don't think the sitting President deserves impeachment, but state legislatures tend to pass a lot of wild-eyed bills and resolutions of a type that the gravity and tradition of the national legislature guards against to some degree. I don't want future presidents of either party getting impeached over traffic tickets because a state representative in Mississippi or Delaware wants to pursue a grudge and make a name for himself.

only a reprimand is appropriate as punishment for a city worker accused of failing to heed warnings to stay off the Internet

Huh. I'm surprised at this, as well as the fact that excessive phone conversations can only result in a reprimand.

Though what does "suggested" mean when a judge does it?

I took a nap. a short one , but I think I needed it.

I don't know this subject at all, but I'm guessing that Constitution pretty much pre-empts any House rules on the subject of impeachment.

I've never taken a nap I didn't need.

ita is the Jean Valjean of naps.

You can't always get the naps you want. But if you try sometime, you just might find you get the nap you need.

I don't know this subject at all, but I'm guessing that Constitution pretty much pre-empts any House rules on the subject of impeachment.

I don't actually expect anything to come of the resolutions, but I still like the fact that states are going to the symbolic effort.

Okay, who wants to be my personal references?
