This diary is entirely on loan to the very reasonable and creative comment by newbie middleagedhousewife (reproduced below) in Senator Kennedy's diary, as well as a response by Crystal Patterson, of Senator Kennedy's staff.  

Please consider this a simple hitching post for the use of any and all Kosmetropolitan cowhands, the better to serenade any and all Senatorial fence-sitters on the topic of Judge Alito's nomination for the SCOTUS.

Attention all Senatorial pardners!  Please hear the following tunes.

Uploaded, some Newfie pix here.
In St. John's, cheered for band, drank nice beer.
Witless Bay is way cool,
Likewise Logy Bay's pool,
And fox news appears nude at Salmonier.
