During the 1930s, Senator Huey P. Long effectively used the filibuster against bills that he thought favored the rich over the poor. The Louisiana senator frustrated his colleagues while entertaining spectators with his recitations of Shakespeare and his reading of recipes for "pot-likkers." Long once held the Senate floor for fifteen hours. Hope the democrats are getting ready, with thier reduced numbers, they will have to do a little more talking. It never ceases to crack me up when i turn on C-Span and see some poor aide flipping charts and graphs for some senator's speaking marathon.:) Gee i can think of so many creative ways to filibuster..can you?:) Looking for me in cyberspace? I am the electron with the red hat, occupying 3rd sit on the left of the data bus. by the way, perl stinks. "I believe god invented man, because he was disappointed in the monkey" Mark Twain

Ah! Government by obstruction. Gotta love it. Maybe Bush'll even veto some pork...:-D Why would anyone waste time arguing with an accountant about anything? Their sole function is to record what happenned, and any higher aspirations are mere delusions of grandeur. On the ladder of productive contributions they are the little rubber pads at the bottom that keep the thing from sliding out from under you. - Roger Wright
