I would settle for her brainpower any day of the week. A pity the questionarres did not have more of Bidens attitude maybe things could start to go their way. You could not have got any odds on who was going to vote against it. Both of them are hippocrites.

Please name one Justice that Bush has appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. I can't think of one, maybe you can.

Last time I looked there were over 45 (out of 100) Democratic Senators in the Senate ... and a fair few Democrats in the House of Representatives.

The whole do this morning was an excuse for a little posturing really rather than a true vetting process. Bush won, so he gets to pick his own set of toadies to admire him. Far better to save the havoc tactics for judicial appointments later onâ€¦

But, alas, BE only has one patent attorney.

Eh, I fancy her like crazy. Would date her to hell and back actually. She is one very smart cookie. Sorry, but I think she is gorgeous, but then again I am always a sucker for intelligent women and anyway, I happen to think Rice is very pretty. But as they sometimes say in Glasgow, "that's me that is" and elsewhere, "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder", e.g., President Truman (my favorite President) thought his wife was beautiful and he practically worshipped the ground his wife walked on. Truman was besotted with her and found it very hard to be apart from her.

Oh Fatbrit ... actually I am negotiating a name change ... I wanted to change it to my first name but my first name is not available ... wanted to change my handle way back when Brightie was PM (might have her handle wrong ... what happened to her btw, hardly any posts from her now). Anyway, I think I have settled on "Franklin", one of my favorite scientists is Rosalind Franklin (donâ€™t mean to ignore Louis Pasteur), and one of my favorite Founding Fathers is Benjamin Franklin; also FDR was a famous war President. Neutral name and yet so many recognized giants had Franklin in their name. Honor to be free to use it.

Dr. Rice is beautiful. Smart, gifted, driven, and VERY successful - makes Rice kind of outstanding, which is clearly the case as Dr. Rice will be the first black Secretary of State. As an aside, I tried quite hard to get into Howard University a while ago, to do a masters in synthetic organic chemistry, but alas they didn't have a masters on that narrow topic, I just wanted to get my hands back on a lab bench (I don't need a masters degree, got one already) and wanted to live and breath the experience of being in one a famous historically black university. I still aim to get in there, it is an ambition of mine. Dr. Rice didn't go there, I think she is a graduate of a west coast university, probably Stanford.

Quote:

Failure to register for Selective Service will generally not prevent a man who was over 31 years of age on the day he filed his naturalization application from demonstrating that he is eligible for naturalization. Even if the applicant was required to register and the applicant's failure to register was knowing and willful, the failure occurred outside of the statutory period during which the applicant is required to establish his attachment to the good order and happiness of the United States. The INS may, of course, consider a person's conduct before the beginning of this period. INA Â§ 101(f) (last sentence) and Â§ 316(e). If the INS denies naturalization to a man who is at least 31, based on his failure to register with Selective Service, the decision must state explicitly the basis for finding that the failure to register warrants denial of naturalization. As a practical matter, a male applicant over 31 years of age who failed to register with Selective Service should, ordinarily, be found eligible for naturalization unless INS has other evidence, in addition to the past failure to register, that demonstrates that the applicant is not well disposed to the good order and happiness of the United States.

But even if she did, I would assume the musty odour has long since left the lab stool.

I type around 100 words a minute ... but not quite as fast as I think. This nonsense about personality, I work feverishly in spurts and then need to vacate my mind of what I call "technical junk" to enable me to quickly absorb and write about something else ... also technical. So I mean it when I write that I use BE as a mental emetic. I use it to vacate my mind. To vacate it as rapidly as possible so I can write another $8k-10k case, assuming I have one to write, but I wrote an $8k case Saturday night. When I have technical stuff to write up I need to junk about every 30 mins or so and to do that I will write about something off the mark to trick my mind into junking the technical junk. You are so nice to put up with it. It comes down to $$$$$ ... junking helped me get my PhD in Chemistry from start to PhD award inside of 39 months.

Anyway, I don't want to use my professional title as my handle. I think that was a mistake and I wanted to correct it for a while now. I did not know it was possible until I accidently read a post by Sue the administrator who was replying to someone who wanted to change their handle, but did so by having their account deleted, but Sue said she could change it without deleting the account ... so I guess if anyone else would like to change their handle they may do so ... sorry if I cause Sue some work *eek*
