she was rescued some years later rants and back. she had become honored venture, a great proponent of cooking with buffalo chips and started to really like it. later when she wrote her memoirs, she was very laudatory and sort of a convert, like i was. it takes awhile to get it right but it really works. when i talk to people about buffalo, people tend to know that they saw dancing with the wolves. they know that there's something about cooking with their done. it seems to be two things that everyone knows. now i will dance to another image here. this is to hide hunters, working on the texas plains. -hunting took off, you can think of the extermination or the near extermination of the buffalo as having occurred in two phases, to .5 phases let's say. at the time of year-- european contact, they had a bitter bigger home range and they were maybe more of them that any time in history. a guy ran into one in present-day washington d.c., people encountered him on the coasts of north carolina, the coast of norman's. they may be war in north

let me remind my colleagues on the other side of the aisle who are ranting and raving about deficits, that under their president we had the most outrageous deficits, the most outrageous debt. we democrats under bill clinton got a balanced budget in place. and we had a surplus, not a deficit, we had a surplus and then we had the debt down and it was going to be eliminated and george bush came in, he started this war in iraq, a war with an open checkbook, no end in site, no checks and balances on it, and tax breaks to the people who earn $1 million or more. and it drove us into the ground. and that's what brought us to this january. within our in the president took all of this on his shoulders and shared the burden with the democratic progress. and i think we have averted the rest of it. we have a long way to go. i think this supplemental will help us get the rest of the way. because coming at us is paying paying. coming at us is fiscal responsibility. coming at sauce challenge. we're going to have to make those difficult choices. that's bun of the reasons we want to take care of health

. -- the conservatives are ranting about too much government control. we should at least give people the choice. the president is not trying to make anybody get into a system that they will like. why are the republicans against giving america the right to choose? host: the e-mailer asked by the u.s. is ranked 37th in the world. guest: because our system is not effective. you can get terrific health care in this country. most people do. the problems are that a lot of people did not have very good insurance. if you have a $10,000 deductible, or a lifetime limit of $100,000, that will cover most of the pretty well. this is insurance. most people is not good enough 3 there will be the tragedies of people who get cancer, or people who get a very complicated disease. -- most people is not good enough because there will be tragedies. these other countries -- everyone is covered. everybody has a medical home, a primary care provider who knows when you need to go to the emergency room and when you do not. who can get you through the complicated medical system. e

you know, it also deafened by the relentless rants of the right wing talk shows in which any kind of public service is a form of betrayal of our american credentials that we forgot there was something noble and honorable and important and necessary about the elementary obligations of public service. and that i think, you know, taking a huge risk was obama gambled on in his campaign and indeed gambling. of course, had it actually not been for government than we would be an even deeper and worse and more terminal hole in the actually are. does seem to be actually something lying out there in american history out there wherever you looked it was line, you know, have to say certainly what franklin roosevelt had to say. what you read in the records about the churches in the 19th century that produced the most important educational programs for their people all through the long miserable years of jim crow and some segregation. but there was line richly in american tradition a sense of not having to apologize for decent government. and this is no guarantee that we are going to get it. there

rantted we'll have a much longer club.ave muc as i said earlier, i don't know how the u.s.g.a.ees or not, how mucht, they'll move them up.ov t i think i'm still one of the longer hitters on tour, and i'm hitting a long iron, so a lot ol the shorter guys are obviously hitting woods into the greens.gi if it rains, how much are they going the move up the tees? mh that's going to be the questions but still, we all know that, yo know, you shoot something under par you'll be looking pretty par you will be good. >> tiger, in my opinion, who doe you think at this point is thedy best golfer of all time and whyl >> jack. wel >> and how close are you? >> well, he's got 18. i'm at 14. >> still to come, much more on tiger woods. he's involved in our topic tonight on "aircheck." who will get to their 15th career major win first, tiger or roger federer? stay with us. >> espnews brought to you by:

so many things have been ranting about and names and other things and it really get into people's heads it is really important for all of those watching c-span right now and all of those who are in the galleries today, people need to take these facts away. the facts of her experience -- she has more judicial experience than anyone over the last 100 years. she has more experience on the bench than any of the justices nominated in over 100 years. you have to go back 100 years to find someone without much experience. you look at the work that she has done as a prosecutor, youlook at the work she has done throughout her whole life where she came from nothing and work your way, got into good colleges and law schools. may be with a little bit of help from her mom who bought those encyclopedia britannica as. as i said at the beginning, this is an nominee who understands law and understands the constitution, but also understands america. thank you very much, mr. president. i yield the floor. >> the senator from louisiana. >> thank you very much. i thank my colleague for her passionate remarks a

everybody who's below that is just somebody to buy a beer for and listen to them rant. and that's always the way it's been. that's kind of where, you know -- i can't imagine covering a beat any other way that would work. >> i know people are anxious to hear about some of the other projects that you might be working on. could you talk a little bit about the project that you're now working on in louisiana and how that's coming along? >> well, we're filming a show called "tramay" which is about new orleans after the storm. and it's really not "the wire" with a soundtrack. it's not a crime show trying to find their way home and reconstitute their lives in this city that was very ill-treated in the wake of the storm. and i don't mean just the immediate wake but in all the years that have followed. the national response to what new orleans has gone through is an embarrassment. and that will probably air -- the first season will air in 2010. >> on h.b.o.? >> yeah, on h.b. o. potty mouth can't write for anything else but h.b. o. [laughter] >> doesn't know how to write dialogue

now, that's the end of my process rant and that's good news for the chairman and the ranking members.to cost. monday afternoon the congressional budget office released its first analysis of the bill we are marking up in the committee today. i said i was done talking about process but it must be said this report, its timing fell far sort of my process expectations on a pill this large and this significant. cbo's analysis of the kennedy/dodd bill before us is also incomplete because, as i noticed previously, even today the full language has not been released. so we don't really know how much the entire bill will cost, which is an issue in and of itself. this leads me back to monday's cbo release, analyzing the cost of just one of six titles to the health care reform bill. and an incomplete title at that. everybody's heard this by now. i think every person who has testified before you, sir, has said this. it's worth repeating, according to cpo. the incomplete sections of title i will cost $1 trillion. whoops. $1 trillion and that's just for one incomplete title of this bill. what will we

many veterans -- women vet rants do not identify themselves as veterans and seeng outside the system. some feel stigmatized and are afraid to speak out. women who have sought care at v.a. facilities complain that staff lacks understanding of women in combat. the most pressing challenges relate to menlt health, inthrude -- including ptsd, depression, anxiety and behavioral issues. a study reported that 15%

it was a good attempt in the tolstoy kept up his rants about the alcohol problem for years. in fact, i found out that he was one of the people who design would have been one of the very first alcohol warning labels and it was like a skull and crossbones that's a poison. [laughter] but the duma rejected it so it never happened. but tolstoy was effective in raising the profile of the alcohol problem in russia and as a result the czar of the end of the 19th century institute and a vodka monopoly to say that the government was better suited to taking care of the vodka economy than individuals. that was a huge blow as you can well imagine to smirnov business although not fatal. they did some other things that allowed them to stay afloat. he sold a cognac and actually sold spinnaker and her able to float but smirnov's sons were not smirnov, they inherited the business and never having issues of their own. they had grown a. privilege and was nothing they didn't get. they have wonderful educations and are exposed to all the financing some live. the kind of like it that way his oldes

everybody who's below that is just somebody to buy a beer for and listen to them rant. at

you see him rant and rave down the sideline, but i can tell you, the next day in practice and film session, he's more inspiring than he is... than what you see on the game floor. >> how much a role does he play in your ability to bounce back? what does it say to you after those tough losses, like a lebron shot or those plays in philadelphia? >> he is instrumental in a few ways. one, he tells us to keep believing, to understand that we're a good team. there's a reason we've gotten this far. and two, he's really big on taking the blame. you don't see that from a lot of coaches. if he makes a mistake, as you mentioned, the lebron shot, the glen davis shot, he quickly takes the blame and tells us he's failed us. we quickly turn around and tell him, we're the guys on the floor. we should have made the adjustment out there, but that's the beauty of coach. he'll take the blame and come in and give us a better game plan. >> before you guys beat cleveland, there was all this talk it was supposed to be the kobe-lebron finals. then you get in, beat cleveland and lose the second game and there's all t

it was a good attempt at tolstoi kept up his rants about the alcohol problem for years. in fact, i found out that he was one of the people who designed what would have been one of the very first alcohol warning labels. and it was like a skull and cross bones and adjusted poison your. [laughter] >> but they rejected it so it never happened. but tolstoy was defective in raising the profile of the alcohol problem in russia. and as a result, the czar at any of the 19th century instituted a vodka monopoly decided that government was better suited to taking care of the vodka economy than individuals. and that was a huge blow as you can well imagine to smirnov's business, although not fatal. they did some other things that allowed them to stay afloat. he sold wines. he sold cognacs. they actually even sold vinegar and were able to stay afloat. but smirnov's sons were not smirnov. they inherited the business. and they had issues of their own. they had grown up very privileged. there was nothing they didn't get. they had a wonderful education. they were exposed to all of the fine

i won't go onto my giant rant but this one was of the bills i passed when i was a state legislator on helping to regulate the pricing of prescription drugs and i will just say that one of the ways i really got involved in that and very interested in it was because maine is a border state we have a lot of seniors who get on buses, bus trips for seniors, and go to canada to buy their medication. and you can buy medicine in canada sometimes, you know, it's exactly the same drug that would you buy just across the border for 1/3 or a 1/4 of the price and it's not because it's a subsidized price up there because these aren't people with the canadian health care plan, but because the canadian government negotiates for a good provides -- price. so in my opinion and i've signed onto h.r. 684 which is from representative barry, that bill would force us to look at this and to do something about the pricing of prescription drugs. and i think that's one other thing we have to address if we're really going to bring down the costs of health care. the one thing we know is that when people take their

so i can go into quite a rant as you can expect from my comments in regard to c.m.s. and what they do and what they don't do. why are the democrats resisting my language to protect patients and their doctors? you and your doctor and your right to make the right treatment decision for you? why are they trying to muzzle my warnings this could lead to the rationing of health care? it boils down to the fact they don't want the american people to know what their true plans could actually be. that's why they're shoving this massive health care reform bill through congress at warp speed having markups before we have complete language or cost st.s. now, we just heard from the distinguished senator from rhode island about the need for health care reform and the fact he was complaining over 100 amendments in the help committee. my goness, almost every major bill i have been associated with we have literally, hundreds of ams and many fall by the wayside, many are withdrawn. we dealt with 17 or 18 of them as of today and senator mikulski and senator dodd did a good job along with
