78 - 19 extensions passed.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

I would really like to take their paychecks away from those 19 for a while.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Wow, they should try that with healthcare.
That's kinda what Maddow is saying right now.

Heh.
Bad travel day. I wish I had just sucked it up and taken the 7am Virgin flight. But I'm finally here in lovely Rockville and I get to see MFNlaw and Sparky tomorrow. So I got that going for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have world's happiest cat on lap. She just loves it when I rub her neck under her mouth.

I did well in my high school Civics class, but I'll be damned if I can understand how our legislative system actually works. It passes with 78 votes but was being held up by a filibuster and the reason the Dems can't do anything is because they don't have 60 votes to stop filibusters. Huh.

Yeah, it alludes me as well.

Senate rules. Used to be everyone used the filibuster sparingly. Then they changed the rules (here I get fuzzy) that a filibuster didn't actually require doing a Mr.Smith and really stopped respecting the principle behind the point of a filibuster (last ditch, put your feet and mouth where your principles are and fucking fight for it to the point of exhaustion, instead of calling it a filibuster and checking out for cocktails at Ye Old Capitol Grille. Not that I'm cranky or anything.)
And the Dems are being asses too.

Huh. A little government Google-ing turned up that a former schoolmate of mine is a Special Assistant to Speaker Pelosi. Neat.
