• Eight Steps Towards A Less Dysfunctional Congress

  
  The League of Ordinary Gentlemen — Authority: 690
  by Kyle Mathews If there’s one thing that most political commentators and Americans can agree upon, it’s that Congress is bad at its job. Presidential approval ratings go up and down, Congressional approval ratings pretty much stay down. These days, it’s become de rigueur to point to hyper-partisanship, ...

• When Did Joe Lieberman Grow a Conscience?

  
  DISSENTING JUSTICE — Authority: 516
  Senator Joe Lieberman says that he will filibuster any health reform bill that contains a public plan option: If the public option plan is in there, as a matter of conscience, I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote because I believe debt can break America and send us into a recession that’s ...

• The Moral Imperative of the Filibuster

  
  Voting While Intoxicated — Authority: 129
  I’ve not hid that I think Joe Lieberman is scum not worthy of the bottom of my shoe. It is quotes like this that lead to such an opinion: If the public option plan is in there, as a matter of conscience, I will not allow this bill to come to a final vote. Listen, I’d disagree if Lieberman claimed he had to ...

• Health care: Good & bad news

  
  Why We Worry — Authority: 129
  Good news: Health care reform passed the House this weekend. Consumerist has a good summary of what’s in the bill : Insurance mandate - Uninsured Americans will pay a penalty; low-income people exempt.

• Health Care: Not Close to Over

  
  Cato @ Liberty — Authority: 740
  The fat lady hasn’t even started to warm up yet. The narrow 220-215 victory in the House on Saturday night was a step forward on the road to a government takeover of the health care system.  But as close and dramatic as that vote was, that was the easy part.  The Senate must still pass its version of ...

• GRAHAM PRAYS FOR FAILURE OF HEALTH CARE; LIEBERMAN TO FILIBUSTER MUCH NEEDED REFORM

  
  MADMIKESAMERICA — Authority: 436
  Obstructionist whack-Packers Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman are pulling out all the stops to defeat health care reform. The former is calling on Jesus and the latter is going to talk non stop (a fate worse than death) by way of filibustering the bill. Sadly, Dennis Kucinich, the liberal hero, is also opposed to ...

• Just a short and brief entry from me here.

  
  C'est La Vie — Authority: 134
  I am now in the process of getting myself maternity clothes as I find ones that are my size and would reasonably fit me. I figure that if I spend the first three months of this pregnancy buying anything that I as a mother might need to care for my child, I can spend the last six months of it getting things for the ...

  C'est La Vie — Authority: 134
  If possible, I would like to continue to lower my RealRanks in all of the ways that I can before my second child is born. Right now, they’re decent enough considering that I’m going to school full-time right now, parenting a two-year-old and still managing to fit some of my own personal hobbies in there… but I ...

  C'est La Vie — Authority: 134
  I found this picture on a site, and since it looks kind of cute I decided to post it up here. This is the picture of a fetus at six weeks’ gestation, found to have been growing ectopically. At this stage, it resembles a human, so I’m happy! As I continue to find developmentally accurate fetal pictures, I might ...

• What Ails the Senate

  
  Gerry Canavan — Authority: 440
  Ive become extremely disillusioned about the existence of the U.S. Senate lately, so Im gratified to see anti-Senate sentiment taking hold in well-read publications like The Nation and The New Yorker . The focus in both pieces is on the filibuster and other strategies of obstruction , but, as Ive argued, ...

  C'est La Vie — Authority: 134
  Sometimes, hair can grow in unwanted places that you really want to have removed. In addition, sometimes hair can grow much too quickly in certain areas of the body as well, and it isn’t always convenient to be constantly plucking or shaving. I’m glad that there are things out there like laser hair removal in ...

• The Republican Party Is a Party of ‘NO’

  
  http://www.ourfuture.org/blog — Authority: 650
  The Republicans in Congress are at it again, stonewalling everything. Last time we called it “block and blame.” Stop everything, then blame the Democrats for getting nothing done. Republicans last year in the 110th Congress filibustered more legislation, and required more cloture votes to break those ...

• Do any of you play MMORPGs too?

  
  C'est La Vie — Authority: 134
  If I had some more money, I might consider seeing if I can buy wow gold and play World Of Warcraft. Although I haven’t had the best luck in the world with massively multiplayer online role-playing games, a few of my good friends are head over heels in love with Blizzard and World of Warcraft. They’ve been seeing ...

  C'est La Vie — Authority: 134
  Stage one of errand running got done after school on Tuesday. With any luck, stage two will get done either today or tomorrow after school. And then when I hit eight weeks in my pregnancy, I’ll make my first OB/GYN appointment with my doctor. Right now, there’s not much use in doing it since the embryo isn’t yet ...
