that grin came often. he told a lot of jokes. this is a fitting place to honor him. he began his first term telling the country that the americans held for more than a year in iran that they were on their way home. it was temperatures here that president reagan began his second term. the first inauguration i attended as a member of congress and the first and only time the president has taken the oath of office in the capitol rotunda. on that bitter cold day president reagan's characteristic confidence warmed and reassured america. here is what he said. shft a ribbon. he said it in this room. nearly quarter of a century ago. history is a journey. we think of those who traveled before us. president reagan's travels from dixon, illinois, hollywood, washington, dear lynn and beyond is as enduring of legacy as anyone. throughout that time nevadaians have been proud to call  president reagan our leader and our friend. [applause] >> ladies and gentlemen, the speaker of the united states house of representatives, the honorable nancy pelosi. >> it is a distinct honor, i kno

when the door closed, he turned to rickenbacher, grinned, and said i can keep this shit up in july ande kept it up much longer. but he senses when he is no longer a literally an infant. out of the blue, here came a kid pulling the same stunts he had pulled in college, only he was doing it in high school. bill may have thought even then, maybe i have found another means. the rest of the book, and the next 4 years of my life, have 3 movements which are already there in the opening that i read you. the first of these movements is a portrait of a remarkable account by a young man. one of the reasons for doing this book is we are losing bill a bit. his tv show went off the air in 1999. becoming media conscious after that, no longer know who he is. my wife and i go out to dinner lot so waiters and waitresses are all kids, they don't know, they would certainly have known in 1990, 1980, 1975, of course they know who bill buckley was even if they never read national review, just because he was out there imitating him. as happens to every figure of the media, part of him has passed. he will in d

tonight, we grinned widely, leiter our teeth, and call each other friend. after all, it is rare that television personalities are able to take the time to congratulate themselves, much less see each other talking. this year is different. much has been made of the economic difficulties, and not just a mindless course, but for journalists as well. -- the mindless whores, but the journalists as well. we will dance on their word covered gravestones in brilliance 1080p resolution . there were predictions that television would cease to exist. as progress and technology ground will halt, said the ticking clock of television's looming obsolescence. we should relax in the mess we have dug into the scalp of our great nation. this last year has seen a number of amazing accomplishments. we tripled the number of lcd monitors behind us, and now there is a map you can touch with your hand. your work is poetry, like a beautiful japanese haiku. you suggest so much in such little actual information. i'm also told the radio still exists, which is charming. we are not perfect.

you can wiggle your pinky finger or give us some sign that nobody else will see, it just -- the big grin, maybe that gives it away. let me tell you from this v vantage point it seems difficult to accept that that would not seem threatening behavior. again, from the notes, i believe mr. price, the cfo took during one of these meetings, identifies hank p, fire board if you do it, invoke the mac. responsible for the country. tim g. agrees. i mean it just seems like there's no other explanation here. and i can understand maybe from the smile and what not that you agree but can't say it here. but let me just say, if you learned later on that there was a 12 billion in losses that you didn't know about. it wasn't so much what they said but how they said it, the seriousness of which they explained the need for you to move forward with this merger, if not 12 billion, wheres the threshold that you would have said can't do it? can you enlighten us there a bit? >> i can't. because i dealt with the circumstances and i don't know -- what caused that to happen, to your point even if you -- whatever you

when the door closed, he turned to rickenbacker and grinned i can keep this crap up until i'm 40.hter] >> he kept it up much longer. but even there is senses where he is no longer an enfant. out of the blue here comes a kid pulling the same stunts he had pulled in college. but he was in college. but bill thought, maybe i found another me. now, the rest of the book and the rest 40 years of my life have three movements, which are already there in that opening that i read you. and the first of these movements is a portrait. it's a portrait of a remarkable and a consequential man. one of the reasons for doing this book is that we are losing bill a bit. his tv show went off the air in 1999, and young people who started becoming media conscious after that moment no longer know who he is. my wife and i go out to dinner a lot so we're hobnobbing with all waiters and waitresses who are kids who hadn't known in 1980, 1979 they would not know bill buckley even if they saw national review or firing line. people were imitating him, et cetera, et cetera. so as happens to every figure of the med

and we now see mike doyle and you see that he's grinning from ear to ear, just congratulate him and tell him to take pity on the downtrodden republicans who didn't quite have the stuff last night. [laughter] >> on this hearing, mr. chairman, i do want to thank you, thank mr. boucher, mr. sterns, mr. rodanovich, for working in a bipartisan fashion to protect the privacy and security of every american's personal information. i'm glad that we are working on this in a bipartisan way. i especially appreciate chairman roush's agreement to act on the republicans' data security bill. that bill has implications for the broader privacy discussion, and i hope that that bill will move forward in the full committee. along with congressman markee, i cochair the congressional privacy caucuses. so i'm glad that we are working on these issues in a bipartisan way. i myself every few days hit the delete button and clean out all the various cookies on the computers that are in my office and at my home. it's amazing to me how many of those accumulate. and most of the time without absolutely any knowledge of

to just sit there and laugh and grin and agree with her as she was quoting the bible, and the last caller who said that he was afraid of the bill and what was going to do with him. he ought to be afraid of those two senators he has in oklahoma. one of them claimed to be a doctor. i will give you credit, at least you call it cap and trade. burton and all those guys, all those guys call it "cap and tax. even neil caputo from fox news calls it cap and tax. that is the image the republican party has got. you just stand up for business so much, you have the image, and the business committee chamber of commerce supports from day one, no discussion, no nothing, just take care of the chamber. looking at "the wall street journal" and those crazy folks you are talking about. "the washinton post" yesterday, 70% of people support this. the actual figure -- and you all keep quoting the guy down in georgia that he came back and told you he did not say that -- the actual amount of money this is going to cost, if it does cost any money, is a i think $174 a year for a household. what this amounts to is th
