They've still got a majority right?
Yes, but in the Senate they need 60 votes in order to have a vote on a bill. That means they need to get at least GOP vote + Liberman to pass anything except some budget issues that don't require procedural votes. Since the GOP is blocking everything and voting in lockstep, it means there's little the democrats can do with a majority.
Um, Jesse, that is pretty weird, because the same thing happened with a coworker of mine and her daughter. Perhaps the ATL guy makes a practice of drinking with moms?

If I didn't have real estate I can't sell, I'd move my ass to the Motherland.

Me too. Maybe I can find some European woman who'll marry me so I can live there....
Reimagination of something that is no longer evolving, authors dead, characters set in stone... I dunno, I loved Wicked and Ahab's Wife, but they weren't well fleshed out characters in the original. No consistency, but I'm just not inclined to seek out contemporary versions of the same. Odd that. I guess literary alternates bother me less.
I'm really fried tonight.
Because the Democratic party is sofa king LAME.
I dunno, to be fair, they have nobody to work with on the GOP side which means to do anything they have to get 100% of the democrats + Liberman to do anything.
What they need to do now is bring out populist issues like financial reform and jobs bills and force procedural votes that'll make great campaign ads if the GOP doesn't let them get to a vote.

How did the Republicans push everything through under Bush with a smaller Senate majority?
Grrrr.
I'm going to hold tight to my state-wide healthcare mandate and marriage equality....

Huge amounts of arm-twisting.
