Walmart defends the shirts by saying they want to give the customers choices. Bill we go to the river where couple a couple of knuckleheads to the truck and drove across the ice unsuccessfully. You can see a coast guard helicopter looking for a truck that apparently fell through. All happened early sunday morning, late saturday night when a woman from Charles River called the Police Department and said she saw a truck doing donuts spinning in circles. Now, they saw headlights and police responded. They saw headlights and then it disappeared. When the truck was found there was no sign of human life. Bill what they rescued . Did they get out of the truck . Sunday afternoon they turned themselves in. Apparently the passenger did not fill to the ice. All the way here to where that flight line was planted. The rescue Mission Command there was no one in the water. Mayor pine beach, his name is russell for the come i went to his house. We talked about the scene in the response. Obviously the
Battle of tal afar. Continuing on to serve in afghanistan afghanistan. And now h. R. , im going to butcher your title. So ill let you give it to me directly. Its Deputy Commander general for training and doctrine command for futures. And then the clunky long title is the Army Capabilities integration center. Im glad i didnt try to memorize that. Arcic.

The late robert byrd was the otherwise to another speaker, norm orenstein, from 2005 said some things about republicans attempt use Nuclear Options and judgments i agree with. Let me emphasize that this is a radical step it has taken. This will require breaking the, steamrolling the parliamentarian. And i must tell you ive been very disappointed in the reporting of this issue which tends to use a kind of cost and shorten over matters making it appear as if this is something that anytime can be done by a majority.

Of breaching the debt ceiling by august 17th, i think the resolution of the two are getting tied to each other because just because of the deadlines and ultimately, you know, that might be something that Speaker Boehner has to decide for himself, does he push forward a clean debt ceiling increase and a continuing clean resolution in order to get it passed to prevent the catastrophe from happening. Likely losing or most certainly losing the speakership as a consequence. 75billion even with sequestration, theres 75 billion more down we can go to get to where the historic bottom cycle is over the last four cycles in defense spending. Is defense spending going to get further cut as we look at doing a grand bargain which everybody says is likely not a grand bar done but bargain but at least a longterm solution you see that, the troughs after each peak we come down to a trough and you can draw a line out and youll see that, you know, history were to repeat itself which it doesnt but it often
