Louisiana: Senior - Mary Landrieu (D), Junior - David Vitter (R) New York: Senior - Chuck Schumer (D), Junior - Kirsten Gillibrand (D) Texas: Senior - Kay Bailey Hutchison (Retiring, R), Junior - John Cornyn (R) Vermont: Senior - Patrick Leahy (D), Junior - Bernie Sanders (Socialist :D) |

I felt (as an African American) both candidates were DBs in that election. Of course, I had to put up with the television ads that delivered contradictory messages based upon the station where ad space was purchased.*

Let's see...
NJ: Lautenberg/Menendez CA: Feinstein/Boxer AZ: McCain/Kyl I pass the cocktail party test, just barely. |

It's great for not filling you up at a BBQ. Shiner's Hefeweizen is decent as is Saint Arnold's wheat... The one wheat beer that I usually steer away from is Blue Moon. Something about the orange that makes me not want to drink it.

I can think of a few without using teh Google, but I'm a political junkie, and have been following the whip count on Healthcare voting lately...
Louisiana: Senior - Mary Landrieu (D), Junior - David Vitter (R) New York: Senior - Chuck Schumer (D), Junior - Kirsten Gillibrand (D) Texas: Senior - Kay Bailey Hutchison (Retiring, R), Junior - John Cornyn (R) Vermont: Senior - Patrick Leahy (D), Junior - Bernie Sanders (Socialist :D) By the way, am I the only one who thinks Mary Landrieu is kind of hot? |

Rather than an orange slice, I add a shot of orange juice to Blue Moon.

Surprisingly, not all politicians have wives that could double as proletarian hausfraus in early Soviet propaganda films. |
Herseth Sandlin is probably the closest thing to talent in Congress.

Sorry for the insane multi-quoting; apparently the last 10 hours have been nuts...

I feel like I robbed CO. Last year I spent a cool $10k for a mixture of work and pleasure travel and almost made Gold.

However, I have a fairly substantial list of states not yet visited...
Alaska (airport only...and I was 2. It clearly does not count.) Arkansas Hawaii Idaho Iowa Kansas Missouri Montana Nebraska North Dakota Oregon South Dakota Wisconsin Wyoming Lived: CT OH MA NY (kinda sorta, short term) LA NJ I was actually surprised that CT was on so many people's lists, as it seems to be "between" just about everything in the Northeast.

I actually enjoyed heading downtown in OKC to see the memorial. I think it is quite well done. Everything else about OKC, not so much, but that was nice.

RE: Mary Landrieu.
Just checked out some internet photos. Let's make that rhetorical question "...was kind of hot." Good night. |

What kind of HDTV? LED? I saw a 40" Samsung LED at Best Buy for $1,200 and really thought about stimulating the economy. |
