In reply to Come on jolly, what you wrote

My undertaking, evidently beyond my poor powers of explication, was to focus your attention upon the metacommunication of the existence of the instruction, not its ultimate invocation or the contrary.

I offer the premise that the direction to insert this instruction came from Boehner, who could only be doing so in the sincere expectation that at some point he and Prez would reach a deal acceptable to the Pugs but odious to the Progs.

Try and concentrate and eschew the side stepping irrelevancies.

In reply to You are confusing substance

Come on jolly, what you wrote there actually makes no sense.

The lesson only ended because you lost your train of thought.

You wrote:

You are confusing substance with procedure.

Then you prattle on about an event that hasn't nor will happen. You are confusing the Bullshit you read at FDL with actual facts, you shouldn't make that mistake when you write a blog to me, because my keen eye will catch them.

Please proceed gubner, proceed.

You are confusing substance

In reply to You are funny. But how can

You are confusing substance with procedure. The substance of Ryan's budget is irrelevant. The procedural impact of a reconciliation instruction, however, should be manifest to you in view of it's sole utility-to forestall a filibuster once a deal is made between the House and 51 Senators,

I'll walk through this slowly: The only reason for Ryan to insert an antifilibuster defensive barrier is to protect a deal which has received the approval of the Repugnant dominated House.

Thus, the TARGET of the resolution, must of necessity be a potential filibuster by whom? Not the Senate Republicans, perforce. The only possible target would be 41 DEMOCRATIC Senators, fighting to protect progressive programs (as, eg, is implied by the Reid-Sanders letter already signed by twenty odd Dems.)

Not withstanding your (somewhat smug, con respetto) dismissal, the reconciliation instruction is very much still relevant.

Like I said, you confuse substance and procedure.

Here endeth the lesson.

Begging your pardon, I am

Begging your pardon, I am nineteen...there is a problem with my paperwork which has been brought to the attention of the responsible authorities, who have assured me that a correction will arrive shortly. I watch for it daily in the mail...

OOh that's nice. See even if you are wrong I still like you cause deep down inside you are kind of a nice old man.

You are funny. But how can

In reply to And, oh yeah, you have

You are funny. But how can you mention the Ryan budget and exclaim you are right about anything, since when is the Ryan budget even in play? I mean, Paul Ryan is irrelevant and so is his budget.

Umm soo, that makes you wrong again.

OMG I am typing this at work!!! LOLOLOL.

You are always wrong jolly my friend! And now I can type this to you on facebook too!

I can tell you've never seen a picture of my sister...Tmac is way cuter. (plus, she's a biking machine...all that endurance, ya feel me?)

Oh shit! You WOULD have to go

In reply to Here's Obama's DoJ helping

Oh shit! You WOULD have to go and bring up the tangled ball of shit stained yarn that is Obama's record anent "justice".

Perhaps when she returns Tmac (or any available surrogates) would care to compare and contrast Obama's record on presidential pardons and commutations with that of his predecessors.

Two names for help in that discussion: Leonard Peltier and Don Siegelman.

Or just some random minority prisoner incarcerated for the last twenty years on a humbug mandatory minimum accessory to drug sale by her boyfriend beef....anyone.
