Willow ,'Never Leave Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Another's dad bought one for some outrageous price (like $5000 back in the mid-90s) and discovered it sprawled out on the floor of its cage with its feet sticking up when he took its cover off after the first night. Turns out it wasn't dead, it just sleeps that way for some reason, but it nearly did him in with shock thinking he'd just thrown that much money away.
BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh, seeing this in my mind is making me laugh and laugh.
It was pining for the fjords.
Scappy, you said exactly what I was thinking.
Also, there's strong sentiment to kick Leiberman
Oh, if only those words were true for my country...
Also? made it to the new Natter. Slap my virtual hand, top 500!
Edit: oh, and congrats Auntie shrift! You'll be, as always, awesome. Not that we talked much, but hey, before I delurked here I thrived on BRQG.
Cutest astronaut EVER.
Cutiepants astronaut!
Cutie astronaut has killed me ded.
Biden may not resign from his position until after he's made veep, which would allow a Dem governor to replace him.
The current governor of DE is a Democrat. She's been a little on the outs with Biden or the party there though, according to my mom, so it may be that she won't appoint exactly who Biden and the rest of the party wants appointed. I can't remember all the ins and outs but I know Biden had been grooming his son Beau to replace him eventually. Now Beau is being deployed to Iraq until, I think, 2010. So I think Biden wants someone in who'd do it for a short time and then they'd hold a special election in which Beau can run for the seat. I may be wrong on a few details but the current and the gov-elect are both Dems.
If you feel the way about Lieberman that I do, of which no family-friendly rendering is possible, this might be a good time to put a call into your Senators - it looks like Reid is currently inclined to put the matter to a vote of the full Senate.
This is a committee with oversight over the executive, and for the past two years Joe found nothing - nothing! - worthy of even calling a hearing over, while Waxman in the House was at least attempting to take the Bush admin to task over some of the most blatant corruption since the Grant administration.
There's word about that one of the offers Reid made was for Lieberman to take over Veterans Affairs, on which he has a horrid record. But even that would be better than having him either continue his do-nothing attitude or, more likely in my opinion, have a change of heart and suddenly start throwing roadblocks out every time he thinks he's been not sufficiently pandered to.
This is a dangerously powerful position for someone who has demonstrated that he holds absolutely no respect or affiliation for the Democratic party. He needs to be sidelined, and he's earned it.
