...inside joke. A shouting match between the starchy conservative Orrin Hatch and the overstuffed liberal Ted Kennedy seemed real at first, then devolved into an obvious put-on and finally ended in a hug as the gallery broke into applause. Similarly, after the Democrats' floor manager, Chris Dodd, gave an impassioned speech on Friday, Hagel dismissed him as a fine Irish actor - and they too smoothed their differences with...
...Martin and writing-producing partner Rami use the same standards when they apply the musical cosmetics - mixing, polishing and layering vocals and instrumentation. "It's sick," says Martin Dodd, a longtime friend and head of A.-and-R. for record label Zomba Europe. "They'll stay up literally for three days just to get a drum sound right."

If the surpluses don't pan out - and the way Schumer had it figured, the surpluses were already spent - shouldn't the tax cuts be able to be cut off, to save the balanced...
...trigger" question, well, it all depends on what pulls the trigger - economic woes or higher spending. Greenspan went back and forth, back and forth, and finally left the pros and cons for Congress to weigh.
