Yep! When you are fired or laid off you are gone at that moment! Most of the time you are not even let back into your office or work staion. Your next option is what bar you head to with the others that were fired at the same time.

Excellent point. These bastards will be tempted to cause so much damage as the sore losers they are.

I must also give the obligatory comment.

A nightmare scenario:

1. Reid jams cap and trade through the Senate using 'reconciliation'. The Senate bill will have the same language as the House bill that passed last year in order to avoid a conference. Zero signs it into law before 12/31.

2. Every bill introduced in the House will have the so-called 'Dream Act' and the DADT repeal tacked on as amendments.Pelosi jams them through on party-line votes, then Reid quickly acts upon them. Zero signs the DA and DADT repeal into law before 12/31.

3. Card check legislation is pushed in both houses with a full-court press from the unions. Zero signs it into law before 12/31.

4. Since Reid and Pelosi were busy with the above, nothing is done to extend the tax cuts, and all scheduled tax increases automatically go into effect on 1/1/2011.

5. The 112th Congress votes to repeal all of the above (in addition to repealing Obamacare), and the repeal efforts die in the Senate.

6. The revolution begins ...

somebody on another post gave false information earlier in the month, stating that Burris of ILL is already out and that the ILL seat is vacant.

Burris is still in office and will participate in the lame duck until Kirk is sworn in. The idea of having the seat vacant was too good to be true (for cloture).

“The so-called progressives aren’t done with their date-rape of this country just yet... “

So this situation focuses my position that the TPM MUST make an amendment to the COTUS that makes LameDuck sessions finished when the session is over before the elections.

As the provisions to the current version, have the new congress start its tenor 15 Nov[3rd Mon in Nov(HSpeaker by 16Nov)[2 days later], ECollege on 18 Nov[2 days later], and POTUS comes in few days after all this [20Nov].
Move all the transitions from Jan to Nov.
