Have a great day all!
Off to do errands and then San Antonio.
Safe travels, Rheo.
Harry Reid is up in his sad sack mode. He has decided that enough is enough and is filing a petition for cloture, I guess.
McConnell up pointing out that they tried to raise the minimum wage last year, but the dems didn't like the modification of the death tax.
The last raise was passed in conjunction with tax and regulatory relief.
Reid is whinning again about all the amendments
Will bring cloture motion on Tuesday for a vote
Why are they working, don't they know it's Friday?
They will work extra hard if it means doing the President damage. Never doubt their dedication to that cause.
He's submitting cloture motion to the desk for Conrad Resolution on Iraq
now he withdraws motion to proceed
Was that about Conrad's Resolution?
What are they up to now??
That was a bit of parlimentary procedure I just couldn't follow.
Burr says they called Cloture on that Iraq Resolution and it hasn't been brought up to the desk yet
Sounds like Reid is trying to cut off debate ... am I right in my thinking?
That sounds right, Mo. But I just don't know enough about their procedures to say for sure.
I was just watching c-span..and they were giving a rundown on what is coming up next week.
Bah...I already mentioned the note from Fox News about the hearing in New Orleans by the Homeland Security Committee, and one other..not sure which.
But, C-span said that there will be a hearing with the Foreign Relations Committee...with the Iraq Study Group members, Lee Hamilton, Edwin Meese, and James Baker...
Also..there will be a hearing by the Judiciary Committee with some "scholars" to find out if there is a LEGAL way that the Congress can STOP Pres. Bush's war!!!
In the meantime, our troops are over there fighting their hearts out...and dying. ugh.
I heard some ex-General on CNN today, (he was on the phone)..and he was telling the news girl...that "unfortunately, a lot more of our young men and women are going to die, especially with this surge...hopefully not too many"
He never even mentioned that 250 of the bad guys were killed by our men and women...
Anyway...I just thought I would let you all know what we are in for this next week.
I, for one, want to see those hearings...because I don't trust the media to report exactly what is said.
We all know where this is going and we all know what will happen in the end
God Help Our Country
I'll look forward to your reports. Head phone week here. :0)
LOL...you got it.
I know you are going to love those headphones.
I do! I have tried them.
