I was glued to my cozy chair during the entire story! I enjoyed the characters and found both the dialogue and the plot of this fantastic story a real edge of your seat kind of read from cover-to-cover! (A Highly Recommended Novel!)

Filibuster

[IMAGE] As Gomer Pyle might say, "Surprise, Surprise, Surprise."

Hillary is going to join John "Davos" Kerry and Ted "Pass-the-Scotch" Kennedy in an attempt to filibuster Alito's confirmation to the Supreme Court.

This is a historical moment, because no one has been outrageous enough to pull this stunt in the nation's history.

So why is the "smartest" woman in American politics skating over thin ice?

Because John "Did-you-know-he-served-in-Vietnam" Kerry is leading the charge, and both want the nomination in 2008. To achieve that dubious honor, they must appeal to the MoveOn.org crowd. Hillary is forced to keep up, which takes her away from the mainstream, cookie baking, moderate she wants look like and unmasks her as a bug-eyed liberal.

I've met three year olds with more common sense. But have it kids, and will the last nutball turn out the lights in Berkley?
