    Leaving Las Vegas - Sheryl Crow from "Tuesday Night Music Club"

    I Want to Break Free - Queen which I snagged off of "Greatest Hits II"

    High Head Blues - The Black Crowes from "Amorica"

    Sometimes Salvation - The Black Crowes from "The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion"

    Vow - Garbage from "Garbage"

  15. My view of the CU

    Re: My view of the CU

     

    Here is the order:

    • The Vice President Richard Cheney
    • Speaker of the House John Dennis Hastert
    • President pro tempore of the Senate (Note 1) Ted Stevens
    • Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
    • Secretary of the Treasury Henry Paulson
    • Secretary of Defense Vacant
    • Attorney General Alberto Gonzales
    • Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne
    • Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns
    • Secretary of Commerce Carlos Gutierrez (Note 2)
    • Secretary of Labor Elaine Chao(Note 3)
    • Secretary of Health and Human Services Mike Leavitt
    • Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Alphonso Jackson
    • Secretary of Transportation Mary E. Peters
    • Secretary of Energy Samuel Bodman
    • Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings
    • Secretary of Veterans Affairs Jim Nicholson
    • Secretary of Homeland Security(Note 4) Michael Chertoff

    Here are some notes and caveats:

    1. The president pro tempore presides over the Senate when the vice president is absent. By tradition the position is held by the senior member of the majority party.

    2. Carlos Gutierrez was born in Cuba and is ineligible.

    3. Elaine Chao was born in Taiwan and is ineligible.

    4. In late July 2005, the Senate passed a bill moving the Homeland Security secretary to number 8 on the list. The bill is awaiting House approval.

    Interestingly, this makes Condi one of the most powerful women in the world (fourth in line to the US Presidency is nothing to sneeze at). Also, the Speaker of the House and President Pro Tem of the Senate will be changing at the next session of Congress, since the Democrats now have the majority of both houses.

    Slide - The Goo Goo Dolls from "Dizzy Up the Girl"

    Shattered - The Rolling Stones which I got from "Forty Licks"

    Home - Sheryl Crow from "Sheryl Crow"

    It's Only Rock and Roll - The Rolling Stones, "Forty Licks"

    Sympathy for the Devil - The Rolling Stones, "Forty Licks"

     

    iTunes seems to be in a weird, Rolling Stones kind of mood. But, you know, that's all right. ;)
