hello everyone!
How is “change” going for everyone out there?
I don’t think anyone realized that “change” meant
throwing out the Constitution and shoving a bill through
without both houses of the legislature voting.
now this administration is resorting to parlimentary tricks to push through an unpopular bill which even their majority in the house and the senate will not agree on.
what’s next, parlimentary tricks to push through an “unlimited” term for President?
We get the government we ask for folks, this is
deplorable.

Didn’t you post this yesterday? Same words? Or am I hearing/reading an echo?
Question:
(not sure why I’m asking since NO ONE anwered my first one)
Are there Antique furniture consignment stores in Brooklyn or Manhattan? I want to sell a few pieces of furniture but not sure how to describe them on craigslist or ebay (+ I don’t want to deal with shipping on ebay).
And by describe I mean, I don’t know the style, year, history, wood species, etc.
I want sushi, yummmm. Too bad I have a freakin’ board meeting today so we can discuss how we are spending more money on the building. I have to start going to those things saucy. I bet they would be more fun that way.
Here’s a run down on the current state of the health care bill….
U.S. House Democrats defeated an effort by Republicans to curtail Democrats’ options in seeking to pass their $940 billion health-care overhaul.
By a 222-203 vote, lawmakers headed off a Republican resolution that would have required a separate, recorded vote on the Senate’s health care plan. The Republicans were seeking to keep Democrats from using a parliamentary technique to avoid a direct vote on that bill.
The House may hold a rare Sunday vote March 21 on the Senate health-care bill and a separate package of revisions. The overall plan would extend coverage to 32 million uninsured Americans.
House Democratic leaders say they may use a parliamentary technique that would “deem†House members to have passed the Senate bill by voting for the more politically palatable measure containing the revisions.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said earlier this week that bypassing a direct vote on the Senate measure was an option because there are “a lot of people who don’t want to vote for it.†She also said that when Republicans were in power, they used the pass-and-deem approach “hundreds of times.â€
Republicans, who unanimously oppose the health-care plan, say no bill or amendment has ever been deemed passed that related to an area affecting one-sixth of the economy, as does the health measure.
So, Pelosi admits “there are a lot of people who don’t want to vote for it” which includes Democrats.
They admit to the “deem and pass” tactic.
The republicans are correct, never before has a truly significant piece of legislation been tried to get passed this way.

I don’t have to explain myself to you, Rob. You know what you do, and what you have said here.
Couch it as ‘gay flaws’, but it’s gay bashing.
