1. Looking at Orrin Hatch's tan and thinking about the dangers of tanning beds.

And hoping he tans every day for an hour or so.

4. and people chided me when I said we needed 61 "Dem" votes in the Senate

(when Lieberman was an "independent Democrat", who "voted with the Dems") ...

These days, it seems like we wouldn't be able to get something done if it was 97-0-3 ... "Blue weenies puppies" and such ...

5. Whither Hairy Reid?

I kept waiting and waiting and waiting for Rachel to ask (and mebbe answer) the obvious followup question begging to be asked. "WTF ain't Hairy "da wimp" Reid slapping down within 90 nanoseconds this absurd creeping escalation of 80 votes?"
I suppose it twas an entertaining fun segment but it
left me very frustrated and, not a little, disgusted...
that Rachel failed to give us the obvious punchline..
My question still stands...
