Valentine's Day and the effort to clean up at Duck Cheney's hunting escapade must have been too much for the White House to deal with today.

1. OMG! This means I won't get to see the Nanotechnology thing

in Commerce. I'm going to need a minute here. (This is pure geek heaven. I'm kind of pissed. I'll have to put the tivo on and see if this hearing is on later in the day. Nanotechnology. Damn! I love that stuff. And it completely stupefies Sen. Allen. He thinks it has something to do with Mork & Mindy, that old show. 'Nano, nanoo')

2. But ones in the morning, the other in the afternoon

I guess that means thet Kerry (and others watching both) have to hear Allen all day. Your jokes at the begining are priceless.

[TayTay]

3. Thank you.

I know that Sen. Kerry could go to both hearings, but really, one is enough. Especially if it's Condi. Having to keep up with all her lies, evasions and verbal sleight of hand are enough for one day. Try to combine that with Nanotechnology and, well, it's just too much. (Even for the smartest of Sens.) I mean really, Iraq, Iran and Nanotech, not really likely. (Hey, I could be wrong. It could be both. I could then like, die happy for the day. Condi slap-down and geeky tech stuff. Be still my beating heart.)

4. I'll bring popcorn.

I love to watch JK in angry prosecutor mode. :loveya:

And to watch him dismember Condiliar?? Second only to watching him do the same to the loathed John Bolton.
