I don't think Boehner knows what 'partisan' means in real world speak.
Dow dropped the most-ever points -- worse than after 9/11. Heckuva job, Bushie.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Ok, I'm officially not sorry anymore for the grief he got in school for a name that looks like "Boner"
That dick Boehner is blaming the failure to pass on Pelosi, even though HIS OWN PARTY voted no 2-1.
Yeah. Pelosi was rude and the Republicans' feelings were hurt, so they punished America.
At least that's what Wonkette said...
Hmmm, sadly, I just realized I have no idea who my Congressman/woman is.
My Congressman is a Lieberdem called Baird. As I said the Democrats should say screw getting Republicans on board. Get something every or almost every Democrat can pass. This process is fast tracked, so it does not take 60 votes to pass in the Senate. Simple majorities will do. I said what I favored, but even if the Democrats won't go for that surely they can scrawl something on a napkin better than what Paulson scrawled on a napkin.

Hee!
Mine's Mark Kirk, a relatively moderate Repub but one for whom I did not vote for in 2006 and will not vote for this year. I'm guessing he'll be re-elected, though, since he's got the entire North Shore rich-folks contingent to vote for him.
All this economy self-destructing stuff has me determined to continue socking money away even more than I was, which means that I'm going to stop the diet food after this week (I can't justify $120/week for food when I've got to learn to start cooking for myself, anyway).
My congressman voted against it. I've tried to go to his website to see why, but apparently www.house.gov's bandwidth is overloaded right now.
I wish the news would stop trumpeting the BIGGEST POINT DROP ever. It's still nothing comparing to 1987, where the market lost over 20% in one day.
