you do more mediations? we are doing a lot more mediations. i like it. it is less acrimonious. you are not rushed in the core system. i love the process. number 5, i don t have time for you. everybody wants their divorce attorney to a lot of time for them. you don t want them to charge you too much but want to be taken care of. divorce rates are spiking people are having leaner and leaner offices. the staff isn t there like it used to be so all of a sudden you are not getting the calls returned and paperwork filed on time. that s a big problem. you need to know exactly how much time your attorney is going to dedicate to you. is there backup? otherwise you could be left in the lynch we don t want to see people having that problem. thank you so much. it is five minutes to the top of the hour. drinking and driving also applying to scooters. it is part of the good, the bad and the ugly. then it s your word of the day
this and this today. i m going to need 217 votes from you guys, and let me tell you, if i don t get them, i m going to send something over there if you want me to talk with steny hoyer? do you want me dealing with steny hoyer or do you want me dealing with you? they have done an extraordinary job, they have. and so i am not completely trashing them here. buchanan s pumping his fist. i understand that the, but as more than one person said over the past couple of weeks, they re two steps through the process, one is having the guts to stare down your opponent, and i say this as a lawyer who sat through a lot of mediations and sat through a lot of negotiations, the first thing is that you have to stare down your
over the past couple weeks, two steps to the process. one is having the guts to stand-up. i say this as a lawyer who sat through a lot of mediations and a lot of negotiations. you have to stare down your opponent. when the opponent breaks, as he has, you have to convert that into a win. yeah. you can have an advantage on a battlefield. if you can t convert it to a victory the question is the thing is, if they don t take boehner s bill, then reid s bill comes up. so what happened? i think, first of all, what pat was talking about occurred yesterday in the conference meeting where eric cantor said you have two options, take this bill or vote on harry reid s bill. they played a video segment from the town.
