Well, on the positive side, I understand that Josh is adding, like two people a week to the payroll.

We certainly do not appear to be reaping the geopolitical improvements to be expected from an utter collapse of capitalism followed shortly by the election of one who in his youth ate the bitter fruit of the stamped food...

Ah Good people, and good

Ah Good people, and good times. When hope was still alive, even if growing tarnished by the hour.

Now look at us. Refugees from our own cafe, surrounded by a scorched earth where hope is but a dream. The world still a playground of the unaccountable, whether Torture, War, Mortgage Fraud, Bank Bonuses, etc. The numerical gap between the interest rates the top earn and the ones everybody else pays growing ever faster.

So my friend, the campaign has started in earnest today. 3-D chess? The beginning a populist anti-rich revolt that returns our speaker, the only Dem with balls along with a team to fight with?

Are we witnessing a four year rope-a-dope?

Or more of the same?

Gitmo bodes ill. Patriot act has been solidified. But who cares about the exotic brown folks anyway, they are used to getting screwed. Besides we are moving out, slowly but moving. But I still want my public option. And get rid of that SS cap.

What say you?

Good take, my dear; I've been thinking they couldn't signal any...moves, tipping their/her hats. But there might not be the sixty, anyway. I just saw the Repubs are demanding the entire bill be read aloud, a veritable Night Before Christmas saga.
Love to ya, jolly. And about that depilatory cream...

they couldn't signal any...moves,

arguasbly (here comes the pony...) the likelihood of a sudden reversal of tactics from cloture to reconciliation rules is proportional to the crappiness of the bill Prez pretends to present his willingness to have inserted (appropriately) sans k-y.

I love your idea, but with Rahm there, I doubt that is the strategy.

I suggested elsewhere that they could pass this bill as is, and later on, through Reconciliation, add the Medicaire Buy-In. According to Dean it is something that would fall under the reconciliation umbrella. That is another possibility.

I welcome any framing that can explain what otherwise (if we are to take the situation at face value) suggests these guys would fuck up a student council election--and that is not Prez and Rahm, so what to think?

depilatory cream...

Baby says "no".

Love back at ya--I just can't square the 10.5 on a 10 point doofus scale that you would have to score to have come at it the way it is ostensibly. And neither Prez nor Rahm is a doofus.

Indeed, one might be forgiven for hypothesizing that whatever the public face, it of necessity must be a facade.

Waxing is a whole lot more fun and it doesn't hurt one single bit!

yes she can and I am banking on grandma Pelosi, my heroine. She is the best chance for something I would like.

If you think about it, Pelosi is a dem WHO KNOWS WHAT THE FRICK SHE IS DOING.

Strange in this day and age.

LET US PRAY.

Well, I did vote for Cindy, and Nancy would be more heroic if she cut off war funds except to fund the outbound plane, but, she's ok for what we usually get, and San Francisco says, you are welcome.

So Jols, are you saying we may see some college football instead of all this Olympic wrestling?

I hope so.

Olympic wrestling

Maybe more like WWE--ask Destor, our resident expert, who the "bad cop" persona is so we can get a mask for Dean...

They got the 60 now; Cornshucker Ben just signaled he got what he wanted. Zero abortions and FEWER people covered??
Let's hope conference can jettison the mandate, expand the public option (Pubic, as many of the Tea Party signs say) and expand SCHIP, not eradicate it.
And then we'll getcha some new stripper threads.

Well, we can all breathe easier now. Just one question; is he going to straighten out Health Care like he straightened out the Economy?

Just askin'

He was likely confused by Dean attacking Prez, and figured we must be back before the primaries...
