hahaha! Nice one. (You're not getting anything outta me, though!) But you'll send me the answer in my christmas card, right?

Anyway, all you assholes better vote for me as the meanest blogger or I shall kick your virtual asses (with my steel-toed velvet slippers) for the entire new year. Can I change my vote? I vote for LW!! (LW--isn't that voter intimidation? I'm calling the JU Board of Elections!)

Congrats Tex. Sorry I'm late to the party here. She is quite precious--I can't wait to read blogs about her antics. I'm sorry to hear that Adrian had to go back so quickly after the birth--what a bummer!

Uh, excuse me, it takes 51 votes to confirm. He had 58. Dont split hairs here, the democrats filibustered it. Period. They have not had a filibuster proof majority in my living memory. THAT is for the RECORD. Dr Guy--is it possible to have a conversation without you being condescending? I'm not splitting hairs--if Chafee, Voinovi

MM--ah, she wasn't meant to tell! I'm sure anyone else who could have would have done the same. But still, you're free to give me a hard time whenever you'd like! As for the topic at hand--Bolton is appointed through the end of this Congress (so January 2007). There seems to be a misunderstanding of the nomination process--there is no need to filibuster (filabuster sp??) the nomination be

MPost: The problem is that 18,000 people in the district appear to have voted in every other race on Nov. 7th, but the Congressional one. This should raise red flags to anyone that there *may* have been a computer malfunction. I'm not saying there was or there wasn't--and because of electronic voting with no paper trail, there is no way to know.

Wrong answer shades! For the record it was the "democrats" filibustering his nomination Most recently, it was Senator Chafee (A REPUBLICAN) who put a hold on the nomination. No one filabustered the nomination because it never made it to the floor. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#FFF394 class="mb-Body-Quote-Tabl

For the record, Bolton resigned because a REPUBLICAN Senate would NOT confirm him. If the President made another recess appointment, Bolton would have to work for free. It's not just the left that dislikes Bolton. A little research would show that he's caused Secretary Rice a lot of headaches acting on his own instead of representing the policy of the US as formulated by the State Department. Remember, as an Ambassador, he answers to Rice--and she should not be spending her time m

PS. I'm also more likely to help those I know (or know of) rather than give to an organization, though I do that too. PPS. Does the study account for time donated? In other words, was it strictly about cash, or did it account for those people who say spend four hours a week in a soup kitchen? Time is often just as valuable to an agency as money.

I heard a segment on the radio with the 20/20 host. I haven't really looked into it, but I do wonder where the source data is from. The previous studies I've seen come from tax returns, which only shows that some people are more likely to ask for the donations to be tax deductible. Personally, I never file my donations on my taxes, and I usually make my donations anonymously (and I'm registered as an independent)--so I guess I'd really just screw up the methodology, eh? Regardless, i

I notice the left refuses to even acknowledge, the exchange MIGHT be impolite. I fully acknowledge that the exchange was impolite. I just happen to think that ther person lacking manners is not the person who you think is lacking manners! Nice to see you back, MM!

How many of the ads did you see/hear? I saw all the ads that Kingbee linked to during the campaign season. Asking about one's children is not cause for a debate. But I guess in new speak it is. That is utter nonse

Mistake he was making? Excuse me that etiquette and decorum were also a victim of the last election. I was unaware of the democrats running on a platform to ban it. In polite company you do not bring up topics of conversation that will cause a debate or make the other party feel ill at ease. Webb made an entirely appropriate response to an ent

Bush was completely and totally out of line to ask about his son in "small talk" at this function. Being from the social elite, he sho
