Natter 76: Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Foaminess
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Twitter is telling me that he can enter the House chambers, but he has to have permission to speak from the podium/dais of the House.
If it comes down to those rules of order, what side to the Republicans fall on? As repulsive as they are, they tend to stick to most procedural rules, I think.
Friends, I have ordered a pillow of my dog, because there is a Groupon that made it $10: [link]
It's my understanding that Pelosi can keep C-SPAN from broadcasting, so not even FOX would be able to show it. My guess is the Senate will invite him because they have the votes there.
That's a good question. They really like to weasel their way around procedural rules when they can, though.
That is not my first thought of what "pillow of my dog" would mean. I hope it's cute!
News bulletin: THE ROOMMATE HAS LEFT THE HOUSE TO GO DO FINANCIAL-TYPE STUFF.
Whether it actually gets done is another matter. I mean, there have been times she sailed forth and had a panic attack (which I only found out about by careful questioning), and there's also the question of how complicated the financial tangle she is in will take to get uncomplicated, which could mean waiting for checks to clear for her.
(For those playing the home game, the date she was originally supposed to give me a check for two months was January 2nd.)
Sending ~ma for roommate success! It almost feels like you have to give her treats and praise when she gets it done.
I get kitties this afternoon! I'm wondering if I should tell her that I am changing their names. Probably should because otherwise I can't introduce them on FB.
I predict That Man will show up, ask to speak, have his toadies say "You don't want to be rude to the President of the United States, who's right here, do you?" And Madame Speaker will say "There are rules, Mr. Toady."
I keep thinking about the Long Parliament vs. King Charles.
Good luck to her and you with that, Theo! Yikes. I mean, she knows you don't sleep on a mattress stuffed with money, right?
My guess is the Senate will invite him because they have the votes there.
Ooooh, I bet that's right.
I kind of want Pelosi standing at the door of Congress with an ax handle in her hands. (Preferably Honest Abe's.)
In re the SOTU - I believe they'd need 60 votes for him to speak (officially) from the Senate chamber and I don't think they can come up with that many. He could speak from the oval office, or the steps of the capitol ... or on Hannity ....
In lighter news, I may have found the perfect dog toy. I've give it to four different dogs, all of whom loved it.
