Any word on when the pukes try and slide the nuclear option by us ?

5. I heard that too.
You know we can probably count on DINO Lieberman to to consider agreeing. I hope Mary Landrieu doesn't cave in like on the ANWR ammendment.

6. Well, now with Terri gone and last rites to the Pope
the MSM will give him enough cover and no one will know the difference. Sickening.

7. You can bet it will be soon now

9. Well let's see
Terri Schiavo died today.

It appears that the Pope is in his last hours.

It's Thursday.

Tomorrow would probably work well for them. Best of both worlds... Friday news dump meets Deathwatch TV.

11. They're probably pissed off because Diebold couldn't put in the
