Anyone have a link to comments Biden made shortly after Alito's confirmation about how it may be time to scrap the current hearings for SCOTUS nominees? Should be memorized by every Republican, along with that great quote from Teddy(HIC!) during TMarshall's hearings.

Sorry I got Rogan confused with Dornan. My bad. Doran is 74. You are right about Rogan, he is 50. They are both former Congressmen from Orange County (the OC) California that lost close and controversial elections to Loretta Sanchez and Adam Schiff. When I saw Rogan and his brief bio, I figured that was the older one. I was wrong. Sorry. Hail to Pitt!!!

I've been invited to a fundraiser for Doctors without Borders... anybody know anything about them? Their website looks okay, but can't tell if it's a bunch of lefties. Any insight is welcome.

I think it probably is somewhat left-of-center, but not an overly political organization anyway. and I believe Bill Frist has done work with them in Africa. hopefully that helps a little (and hopefully that's correct, hah)
Add Rosenstein to the list, Andrew, for this evening's recess appointments!
