[rbmillerjr]

Yeah can we at least delay this thing to delay Pelosi from taking her European Vacation.

[eeevil conservative]

hmmmm

tempting— vote for the bill and yank her passport while she is there?

sry— trying to find some humor to help me through this pit in my stomach

[AirForceMom]

Maybe her asbestos suit she needs isn't ready, she will likely burst into flames when she approaches the Vatican.

[fatima]

His time expired.Thank God.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Bbbbbbbboooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[lodi90]

Republicans changes in bill cost 1,000,000 jobs created. Obey in fine bipartisan form.

[TornadoAlley3]

Lewis asks for 30 seconds, sucks up to Obey.

Not posting just because I am so sick to my stomach and there is nothing I can do anyway. After years of trying I know my donk critters and Senators don’t pay any attention to my views, anyway. I did give Ron Kind a piece of my mind when he sent out his *please comment* email last week.

Just on a side note, after a very slow January, my business is seeing an modest uptick in distributor and small retailer orders in the past 3 days. One shop in Georgia said there has been a small amount of increase in her business. My husband ran a targeted sale limited to regular clients who had been MIA for a few months. He offered $10 off and is getting responses.

This stimulus is not needed. They are pushing it through to take credit for the natural turn of the cycle.

[TornadoAlley3]

Now Obey thanks staff.

[TSgt]

Everyone hugging each other now before they destroy America.

“$50M for the Arts and that area has 12% unemployment.”

I would have thought it was closer to 120%. The whole idea behind a career is "arts" is that you don't have to work for a living.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

“So this is how democracy ends.....with rapturous applause.”

[RobRoy]

I remember telling my buddies, in the early 1990’s, that within 25 years the US, as we know it, will not exist.

I was optimistic.

[TornadoAlley3]

Michigan Republican asked for 15 minute vote on something, will not pass.

[TornadoAlley3]

CSPAN 3 holding WH press briefing, Pelosi and Dems will also speak on CSPAN 3, then Repubs will speak on CSPAN 3.

[RummyChick]

I just tuned into Baucus. I think he was quoting the CBO about job creation..but damn..he left out what else CBO said.

[RobRoy]

I’m watching the markets on My.Yahoo as this plays out. It has been gradually going up the last hour. I am interested in what happens after the vote.

[Cedric]

The markets will go up for about 45 minutes then drop.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

It will be interesting.
