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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

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

FOUR DEGREES TO THE PRESIDENT!!

Jeez, watching back-to-back The Wire followed by a PBS aired ep of MI5 is... depressing.

You know, I think I need to do a house swap with msbelle. I can provide mac just enough different person that it goes relatively smoothly, and she can go crackers with paint and goop off.

Signed,

Still haven't de-painted the glass doorknobs or brass yet.

I did rip out 95% of the cable, though!

In non-Bureau news: the Dsquared collection for fall had really great shoes. If I were a chiropractor I'd totally want a pair: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Those shoes will make money for chiropractors.
