Healthcare reform
If you put it up for an amendment, I'll vote for it. That saying, that America has contributed two or three great things jazz baseball and democracy or whatever, forgot whiskey. Whiskey is better than scotch. Scotch looks down upon you. Scotch sucks out your wallet out of mere principle. Whiskey loves you. Whiskey will let you mix it if you want to. Whiskey will go in ice. Whiskey will go straight. And whiskey will love you. Whiskey is the dog. Scotch is the cat. Cat lovers are p*****s. USA USA USA.

Healthcare reform
Mr. G, if you'll remember, pistol duels were the more humane versions of civility in the american legislature, a member WAS beat to death by a cane. In addition, accounts of the first state legislatures in places like California and Tennessee are hysterical. The constertution ain't say nothin about drinkin a bucket of whiskey and getting too rowdy to continaw

Healthcare reform
8 pm I think...so 12 am my time. F'n F I like the house filibuster, I hate the senate filibuster. House filibuster is the heart of mr. smith goes to washington, the senate filibuster is minority party claims "present". If the senate was like the house it would be threatened a whole lot less.
-
Healthcare reform
they are essentially saying that even the filibuster is not good enough anymore, with their minority, so now no debate can be had. On the other hand, I do enjoy how our legislature is useful again. After 4 decades of doing nothing, I'm glad they remembered what the hell they were supposed to do.

Beckham's Deep Thoughts on playing 2nd base

Stimulus Bill Redux
the research has stated that only a very small percentage of those that received the credit would've not purchased the house w/o the credit. The rest were just going to buy a house anyways and got free credit.

The Republican Thread
I'm guessing cknolls and alpha dog missed when Rahm called moveON and the blogs "f'n stupid" for going after blue dogs, in addition to when Hillary came out against moveOn during her campaign.
-
The Democrat Thread
so, um, I posted it and no one cared. The CBO estimate of the republican health care bill showed that it, uh, did nothing. Covered 3 mill people. Doesn't require coverage for pre existing conditions. BUt totally gets those trial lawyers.

the credit to homeowners appears to have been a disaster.

Bill James handbook 2010 predicts Tyler Flowers
QUOTE (G&T @ Nov 6, 2009 -> 12:46 AM) So your dream scenario involves filling an emergency catcher position? ? He wants to be able to play both AJ and TF on the same day. He's saying with CJ up we still would have a backup catcher in case AJ/TF whoever is at catcher, gets hurt.

Illinois Senate Seat News
I don't know. I don't get it either. My guess is the republican party is legitimately worried about a minority, but sizable faction of formerly reliable republican voters consistently going for a Hoffman-like candidate. And if 13% of their voters are consistently going that way, they obviously will have a hard time. But, I don't care. If they think Sarah Palin is a legitimate tool for good instead of just a legitimate tool, then I'll just laugh and take the victory.

My candidate for jack-ass of the year
Libraries, one of those incredibly socialist policies championed by socialists like comrade Ben Franklin.

Illinois Senate Seat News
NY23, etc. He's going to run, run run run run to the right to survive his primary, then run hard back center if he wins. It'll be questionable whether people'll forget.

Healthcare reform
I'm scared how much leverage the Republicans will have with the CBO report about their health care plan. I think this will make the dem plan dead in the water. http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/11...most-nobody.php

Student suspended for having a pocket knife locked up in his car
I think if a school finds a kid is doing drugs and is on an extracurricular I think it's a good idea to remove him from the team.
