Responding to the nuclear option (Jan 22 2005 23:26 GMT) - I've been wondering what the Democrats will do if the wingnuts in the Senate carry through on their threat to go "nuclear" on judicial filibusters, using Vice President Cheney to sustain a rule that filibusters don't apply to judicial nominees, just because they can't get the wingnuttiest of their wingnuts onto lifetime appointments on the federal bench. This comment at MyDD finally explains it:If the GOP goes nuclear, the Dems have promised they will stop allowing unanimous consent decrees on Congressional Actions. That means things like the text of every piece of legislation read into the record three times, votes cast on the record on every single minor action Congress takes like recessing for the day, congratulating Super Bowl Champs, etc.Congress grinds to a complete and utter standstill. |

swimming, fishing and the hope to get to the ocean tonight. (Jan 22 2005 23:23 GMT) - The wine needed about three minutes to kick in. It was a 1990 Chateau Simard Saint-Emilion and it tasted a bit like that reddish dry cork. He did not have any real wine glasses and so that imitation plastic cup had to be it tonight. The wine needed about three minutes to kick in. And it did kick in so incredibly well. |

Video Card (Jan 22 2005 23:22 GMT) - My PowerMac G4 MDD 867/DP (my, that's a mouthful), shipped with the Radeon 9000 video card. Up until now, I haven't seriously considered upgrading the card because, for the most part, the rest of the computer isn't really up to the task of keeping up with the 9800 in things like games. It can't move data fast enough to take advantage of the speed of the graphics card. But... Things like parts of OS X 10. |
