Mount Suribachi is seen on Iwo Jima off Japan’s main island in this file photo of July 12, 2004. A U.S. search team is on the island looking for a cave where a Marine combat photographer who filmed the famous World War II flag-raising 62 years ago is believed to have been killed in battle nine days later, military officials said Friday, June 22, 2007. The seven-member team, from the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command, based at Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii, is on Iwo Jima looking for the remains of Sgt. Willam H. Genaust and “as many other American servicemen as they can find,” JPAC spokesman Lt. Col. Mark Brown told The Associated Press. (AP Photo/ Eric Talmadge, File)

  1. MIAMI (Reuters) – A Florida man awoke with a severe headache and asked his wife to drive him to a hospital, where doctors found a bullet lodged behind his right ear, sheriff’s deputies said.

    The local sheriff said that if you aren’t a drug dealer, don’t engage in commerce with drug dealers, and treat your spouse right you are unlikely to get shot. He apparently violated rule 3 of the do not get shot rules.

  2. 10:04 – Cloture vote begins. Does Reid have a couple of Democrats ready to switch from Nay to Yea? He’ll need them.

    10:11 – Webb votes against cloture, and I count 22 so far overall against, with 20 for.

    10:15 – Landrieu votes no, another Democrat against, although that’s not a switch. Rockefeller stayed as a no, as well.

    10:19 – Bernie Sanders and Tom Harkin voted against cloture, as did Nelson of Nebraska. Robert Byrd stayed a No, while Olympia Snowe stayed an Aye. Mark Pryor voted against cloture. Sam Brownback switched to No — very interesting.

    10:20 – Norm Coleman voted against cloture. Wow.

    10:26 – A majority, 53 Senators, have rejected cloture. It’s dead … again.

    Continuing ..

    And now, please stand for the closing hymn and then we will proceed to cemetary….

  3. Good live blogging there, Swamps.
    I was just about to shut this thing down, and hit the shower…thanx.

    As for concealed carry, that’s a good example. This is a good example of open carry.
    Great-Granny Got Her Gun!
    Later on dudes and dudettes.

  4. A conservative majority led by Chief Justice John Roberts said other means besides race considerations should be used to achieve diversity in schools.

    “The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discrimination on the basis of race,” he wrote.

    Stop discriminating on the basis of race? Liberals are not going to like that one bit.

  5. Not my live blogging, it was up at the link at Captain’s Quarters. I have some technical problems at “work” which preclude me actually working but keeping me tethered to the computer, so was following it via internet.

  6. Nice catch on No.2 thanks

  7. While some Senators scowl and grumble, we the people do the Snoopy Dance.

  8. Great story on the conceal and carry. I absolutely love hearing stories where people take responsibility for their own safety and kill would be robbers / murderers. I don’t consider that to be “taking the law in your own hands” but instead simply taking responsibility for your safety.
