Am I the only person in the world unable to get a second use out of a jar/bottle/tube of super glue. It seems if I wait more than an hour between uses, nothing more ever comes out.

Is it just me or does he remind other people of the villain in a Tom Clancy novel?

So does anyone think Don Young will even bother coming back to Alaska to campaign for re-election? I mean, it’s not as if he has to. Most Alaskans will keep voting him back into office in an attempt to keep him out of the state anyhow. When he comes back here and we see him up close and personal, well, let’s face it, we’re all a little abashed that he’s the only thing representing us in the House.

We exchanged five prisoners for him. Five prisoners who we refused to allow to go to trial, refused to allow into the United States to go into a jail, refused to provide any limit to their unending stay at Gitmo. What do people expect to happen to the prisoners there? Will we keep them in a lifetime imprisonment without benefit of any legal counsel?
