...dissenting vote. They blocked it because Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid refused to let them bog down the floor debate with scores of unrelated amendments designed to box Democrats into uncomfortable votes on issues like immigration and the alternative minimum tax. Most Senate Republicans like the farm bill just fine - Richard Lugar of Indiana is an honorable exception - but not as much as they like attacking the do-nothing Democratic Congress. They needed 40 votes to block Reid's effort to shut off debate, and they got 42, so Reid yanked the bill...

He has asked for her real estate records, reminding her fellow Missourians of an extended...

...marked by electrolyte imbalances, priapism, and low blood sodium levels. Briefly hospitalized. ANALYSIS OF RESULTS After AFN’s stint in Mount Auburn Hospital, the study was aborted. Planned but unperformed experiments included playing “45:33” while engaging in underwater combat, dining in fine restaurants, and chopping vegetables for a winter stew. Post-study interviews resulted in similar statements from both test subjects, who noted that despite the track’s length, the music sounded like “nothing.” When asked to best describe the feelings conveyed...
