Did you read what I wrote?

Obligatory reminder that several Democrat senators have voted to confirm every single nomination so far. For DeVos to go, you'd need one more defector and every single Democrat to vote against her.

What is significant about this group is that while Tester and Heitkamp and Manchin are facing tough reelection fights in states that went for Trump, Durbin, Blumenthal, and Coons have seats for life and they have strong credibility with the Democrat base. If they aren’t pushing filibuster then, more likely than not, it isn’t going to happen. Schumer has pretty much locked himself into pushing a filibuster and daring McConnell to get rid of the filibuster. This is going to strike directly at his ability to lead his caucus in the coming fights. Not only that, but Durbin's position as minority whip speaks loudly here as well.

Glad I could bring out the nerd rage

Just their faces, Boyst! Though Pelosi's alone is enough to make one hurl. Undoubtedly.

Yeah - him and Pelosi's faces were dancing before my eyes when I started reading the news last night.

Firefly was cancelled because it just wasn't very good, Tom. I want Vandermint to come back. Mmm, dutch coffee.

The Republicans are just kicking Dems in the nuts and spiking the football at this point. The bitterness runs deep.

Sotomayor at least had judicial experience. Kagan, on the other hand...

Really a solid pick. I'm parsing through some of his opinions today. He's cut from the same cloth as Scalia; those who are fans of Scalia's style of jurisprudence should be very happy that Gorsuch is his replacement.

It's too bad the USA's contribution was https://www.pmchollywoodlife.files.wordpress.com/2016/06/miss-usa-beauty-lead1.jpg?w=600'> pretty weak (relatively speaking) this year. But still clearly would.

Who remembers the "our children are watching" ad? Video in link is NSFW (language, bitterbitches) https://twitter.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/823922489780817920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

So he subscribes to mainline evangelical views? Shocked, shocked I say.

He already has. Brady's little project next to the stadium makes sure he gets paid in ways that the NFL doesn't have to know about.

I think by the time June rolls around I'll be ready to spend stupid money on the Bills again.

The girl that I've been mocking mercilessly since the election is going. I imagine it'll have some traction, considering how much in lock-step the whole thing is with the media's collective priapism. DC Tom-bot needs to reboot faster.

Jamesway is a little before my time, but I do remember Ames. My mother picked up shifts there when money was tight, and after dinner my siblings and dad would take a field trip there to see mom at work. Windham's doing alright. The people who own the ski resort just bought Windham Country Club and are redoing the whole course, last I heard. You're not wrong. I want to say Walmart in Catskill opened in 2006, and at the time was the biggest in the state (I don't think it is anymore, I could be wrong). Some local businesses that survived up until then are still around, many actually doing better than ever. Catskill has a few decent restaurants owned by locals now, and there's a bunch of yuppie money pouring into the town to turn parts of the creekfront into artsy fartsy paradise. It's no Westchester, but since Walmart came to town I daresay Catskill's doing a bit better on the local front. Kingston, on the other hand, is circling the drain. But there are other reasons for that.

There's iron in those words.

Catskill. Never got into skiing for whatever reason

ODB is alive and in my basement hanging out with Tupac and Elvis. Does that count?

Hunter or Windham? I grew up closer to the river, close to the bottom of 23A if you're coming down from Hunter.

You know how I know you moved away a long time ago? It's Colonie, dammit!

The nature of my job requires me to be reachable on short notice at times. But I knew it going in and agreed to it, which I think is the salient difference for a lot of people.
