And tacos. I'm surprised there was no public taco option included. I shall write my Congresswoman a stern note expressing my dismay.

I think one of the guys a few back actually gave someone elses speech again, I recognized at least some lyrics, the whole "The most pro-abortion president ever," and "No one who votes for this bill will be able to say that they have always fought for the rights of the unborn" etc.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

What other thread?


You know, it would feel demeaning if I kept being referred to as "the man from the pelican state" or "the man from the peach place."

"Kill the bill!"

Somehow I see in my mind a bunch of people stabbing the "I'm just a bill" bill with pitchforks.

I agree. Politics are boring. Where are the people beating each other over the head with canes, or stabbing each other to death at the feet of a political rival's statue?

Is there a point to the debate segment? I mean you'd think that everyone's mind is pretty much made up at this point.

No, first we have to vote on unimportant bills to make sure everyone is in the House, why not do a roll call, I have no fucking clue.
Then we have to have to vote on the rules
Then we have to have a two hour debate where we say the same rethorics that we've heard all year long, just louder and angrier
THEN we can vote if you can have a cookie.
