Better yet, have former congressman Paul Findley on your show, if you dare! I once asked as a caller to a talk show Dick Durbin, asked that he apologize for the "treatment" he gave Paul Findley who is a real decent guy. Obviously he did not like the question because it goes to the core of the shabby politician that he is. But then he's in with all the "cute" crowd so I suppose that makes it all OK..... After what he and his campaign did do Paul Findley, I would put Durbin on the lowest of political levels.Lawrencenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-13269769020486053332007-07-07T08:35:20.000-05:002007-07-07T08:35:20.000-05:00Is "Jeez" derived from "Jesus?"...Is "Jeez" derived from "Jesus?"Cal Skinnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-31444992458336789672007-07-07T06:10:47.000-05:002007-07-07T06:10:47.000-05:00and so falls justification for interning American ...and so falls justification for interning American citizens.<br><br>First off, Tom, the attack on Pearl Harbor ans the Phillipines were on territories of the US, not US states.

I did not hear Nalepa on the radio show but he would be an excellent Senator. The contrast between the two is greater than day and night, and voters would have a real choice, instead of a Durbin-Lite candidate.<br><br>The Doctor who is running is being set up to fail. If this is what the GOP leadership wants, McKenna should bite the bullet and run himself...people would have a lot more respect for him, even though he is somewhat ineffectual and vapid. He ran four years ago for an open seat. (At which time, JBT as committeeman had no problem endorsing him in the primary but could not endorse the sitting GOP Senator for re-election.) What is he scared of? Maybe he knows he won't get much $ from the RSCC.<br><br>My philosophical and political leanings are obviously more like most of the commenters here, but I would vote anybody, including the likes of McKenna, over Durbin any day. And I think a lot of others would too.Realitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3709087743016851805.post-2655021843988213422007-07-06T12:22:33.000-05:002007-07-06T12:22:33.000-05:00OK, also from memory--First, it's "someti...OK, also from memory--<br><br>First, it's "sometimes I take a great notion..(to jump in the river and drown)," which was the inspiration for the Ken Kesey novel title, "Sometimes A Great Notion."<br><br>Next, it's "Last Saturday night I got married..."<br><br>Gonna take another stroll downtown.<br><br>Now here's a follow-up...<br><br>Stop your ramblin, stop your gamblin'/<br>Stop stayin' out late at night/<br>Go home to your wife and family....<br>???<br><br>Bonus trivia point... the popular version of this song by (wait for it....)
