I am so sick of DC right now....

Megadittoes!

I am also sicker than I have ever been at the DBM. I will not watch ABC, CBS or NBC (inc. CNBC and MSNBC) at all and I have drastically curtailed my watching of the FNC.

The talking heads are making my head explode.

I hope Rush mentions all the absolutely ridiculous pork that's in this Senate bill. Granted, that was in the original bill to which the bailout bill was attached, but it's going to absolutely make people livid when they hear what's in that bill.

Hopefully, the House will stand firm again.

Not that it matters (much), but those details are incorrect.

"All that pork" was in a House bill, H.R.6049, that was passed in the Senate on a 93-2 margin on September 23, 2008. The two NAY votes were Democrats. The House was going to kill it by ignoring it. But keep in mind, 93 Senators approved "all that pork," now, twice! Once in H.R.6049, and again, attached to H.R.1424.

H.R.1424 is the bill that was used as a vehicle for the bailout language. The original contents of H.R.1424 were tossed out, and the bailout plus H.R.6049 were substituted in its place.

All of that is perfectly and unambiguously clear from the record, links to the bills above so you can prove it to yourself and your friends ;-)
