Put another wad in your pipe and dream on.
What could be done - by Boehner or any other Republican Speaker - is to do what Newt Gingrich has suggested. Instead of massive appropriations, start nickle and dimeing the Senate with small bills. For example, the appropriation for the EPA would be a single bill with deep cuts. If the Senate or BO rejects it, the EPA gets nothing.
It would be a continuing battle but it would show that the House has real power.

But there is too little room in Boehner’s lace bikini panties for the balls required to follow that path.
