Every cloud has a silver lining. : )

But focusing on steroids & stuff like that is such a waste of time & money.

Bottom line Hillary and Obama have taken large campaign donations from Trial lawyers... that group is the hold up on this most important legislation... Pelosi and Reid need to be honest with America... They are playing politics with the nations security... It is treason....

I petition an investigation into house Democrats campaign donations from trial lawyers who are against this bill...

I have wanted Boehner to run for president for YEARS. In fact I wanted it to be the Boehner/Bush ticket in 2000 and 2004. Or the Bush/Bohner ticket. But it doesn’t sound good when you say it. Sounds naughty. But maybe that is just me.

> Another poster yesterday was thankful they were wasting time on steroids instead of really screwing up the more important matters they should be attending to. <

Somebody said today that if al Qaida had been taking steroids, the Dhimmiqrats would really be on their case!

Why am I picturing the scene from Animal House?

I'm thinking of this one...

D-Day: War's over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.

Bluto: Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

Otter: Germans?

Boon: Forget it, he's rolling.

Bluto: And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... [thinks hard]

Bluto: the tough get goin'! Who's with me? Let's go! [runs out, alone; then returns]

Bluto: What the f*** happened to the Delta I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? "Ooh, we're afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble." Well just kiss my a** from now on! Not me! I'm not gonna take this. Wormer, he's a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer...

Otter: Dead! Bluto's right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody's part.

Bluto: We're just the guys to do it.

D-Day: Let's do it.

Bluto: LET'S DO IT!


John Belushi for President

Pity the Republicans can only sprout a pair when they are in the Minority. And even then, it’s not often.

Can Bush order the House into session until the bill is acted on?

Absolutely! He can call a special session of congress and congress is obliged by the constitution to stay in session as he directs. No president has done this since Truman.
