Everything is going so fast; help a sister out

[CatWoman]

I'm home sick with the flu.

I woke up to Bush on tv trying to defend syping on Americans.

:puke: Made me even sicker!!!

Went back to sleep, logged on to DU; ALL HELL IS BREAKING LOOSE!!!

What level are we on?

What the hell is going on?

I haven't turned the news on.

[hang a left]

1. Kerry and Kennedy calling for filibuster. n/t

[lukasahero]

15. Man I love my senators! eom

[Midlodemocrat]

2. Kerry is going to filibuster!

Will Pitt broke the story to us and now it is on CNN.

Feel better, CatWoman!

[CatWoman]

9. HOT DAMN!!!!!!

:D

Where would we be without Will?

Fun fact: that's how I found DU - Thru a Will Pitt Truthout article :D

[Midlodemocrat]

21. LOL. Me, too!!!

but I stayed for the Top 10 Conservative Idiots.

[stepnw1f]

3. Get Better CatWoman!!! Here's a hug from a Friend

:pals:

[Coexist]

4. Kerry is gunning for a filibuster - looking for support

Byrd says "I heart Alito"

Panicked people make millions of phone calls.

End of story.

[sabra]

5. check out CNN

this should help with your flu :-)

[EFerrari]

6. Bad news: Byrd is voting yes. Okay.

Good news: Kerry will lead the filibuster.

Good news: Of the 8 holdouts, we've id'd 6 and we're working them over.

Now, drink a lot of liquids and try to feel better.

:)

[CatWoman]

12. LOL

i think I've cornered the market on tea bags :D

[EFerrari]

19. LOL! Green tea fo clean up and chamomile for sleepy but

goldenseal caps are great to get rid of bugs. :)

[Blue-Jay]

24. Don't go around saying that to random people!

:rofl:

[CatWoman]

26. SQUIRREL!!!!!!

:hi:

[Justitia]

16. W/the Kerry news, let's keep working on Byrd! -eom

[tridim]

7. Fascism is still on the march

Byrd shits on the constitution he claims to love.

Kerry calls for filibuster.

[Not_Giving_Up]

8. In a nutshell

There are at least three dems voting for Scalito now...Kerry went on CNN calling for a filibuster, reportedly Kennedy is with him on that...Wolfie said that a filibuster would embarrass the dems.

Edited to add:

Specter called for a vote, saying Frist sent him out there...Harry Reid wouldn't let it happen.

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. John Kerry has your back and the backs of women around the country.

Lieberman voted against Alito with a well worded speech...and Will Pitt scooped all of the major news networks on the Kerry thing.

Feel Better. :hug:

[CatWoman]

17. Thanks, Mrs. G

:hi:

How many votes do they need to break the filibuster?

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. 60...so we're faxing and emailing and calling...as fast as we can.

I really feel like we have accomplished something today.

[Sequoia]

18. But not "on your back".

Okay...I know lame.

To borrow a pharse from the '60s...SOCK IT TO 'EM! Way to go Kerry!

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. ...but TRUE.

:bounce: :yourock:

[Justitia]

11. Kerry is calling for a filibuster - WE GOTTA BACK HIM UP - GET DIALING

We need a new round of calls. Call the ones who have already stated a no filibuster position - they may change their mind after hearing Kerry and hearing from all of us.

I am encouraging a pleading tone. I begged Landrieu to filibuster.
We gotta give it the old college try and pull out all the stops!

[Sequoia]

13. Hey you said "level" and "hell" which must mean.....

We're in Dante's Inferno...but which level of hell?

[democrank]

14. Feel better, CatWoman.

The three-alarm fire around here ought to perk you up.

[CatWoman]

22. LOL

My feet aren't cold any more :D

[Neecy]

20. here's a sure cure for the flu...

(At least it's always worked for me)
(Okay, it isn't a cure, but it helps)

If you have a good Chinese delivery nearby, try a big bowl of hot and sour soup. At the very least it'll clear out your sinuses.

[tridim]

25. Vietnamese Pho soup is even better

Just avoid the mystery meat options.

[Catchawave]

28. Level 3, I hate that.....

All my hidden threads suddenly reappear! Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I do hide threads that tempt me to respond *unDUladylike*...if you know what I mean...sometimes DU is "hard work", and I'm not always on my toes *snork*

[Habibi]

29. Thanks for starting this thread, CatWoman

I went to the salon for my hair appointment, got back to find DU at DefCon 3 and have been trying to get a handle on WTF! is goin' on.

Hope you feel better soon. A nice hot glass of red wine with sugar and brandy will help!

edit for typo

[CatWoman]

31. LOL

Defcon 3?

:rofl:

[wicket]

30. I just got over the flu 2 weeks ago

My sympathies :hug:

[CatWoman]

32. damn thing refuses to go away
