Well, THAT friggin' blows!

IndyCar is on VS here, and the satellite co I have got into a pissing
contest with Comcast over the station, so I missed the Long Beach Grand
Prix for the first time in about 25 years or so. >:(

They have since kissed and made up...

They did that in Mass...TWICE! It was originally set so the Governor coud
appoint an empty Senate seat until a "Special Election" could be held.
When we had a Republican gov, the State Senate changed it to "election
only" when it looked like Kerry might become Pres. Then when Ted "the Liar
of the Senate"* died, they changed it BACK, since we have a Democrat gov
now.

Whatever fits your agenda!

So they changed the length of time *between* elections did they to
double what it was? And what about Arnie overthrowing the duly elected
senator? That's a revoltion is the purest sense. Exactly like Castro
did. but without having to have an army, just using the courts.

You wouldn't know a lion from a rat.

A LOT of people disliked of Kennedy. He was not even loved by
everyone here in Mass.

Are you talking about a 'religious' person?

Ted Kennedy was a 'heck of a swimmer' at Chappaquiddick.
