Sometime in the wee hours of the morning, it happened:

.....

Democratic leaders were forced to jettison provisions to award work permits for immigrant farm labor and seasonal workers just hours after beginning debate Tuesday on legislation to add domestic programs to President Bush’s war request.

I loved that movie.
Doctor and fiancee are in a car accident.
He reaches in and pulls out her head and wraps it in a coat.
Brings her to his mad scientist lab (of course) and brings the head back to life.
She telepathically controls the headless body in the closet and takes her revenge.

I liked “wonkers” better.

The Internet Archive has the film (edited?), available for free download or for viewing through the entry's page:

The Brain That Wouldn't Die (1962).

Nice job FReepers--------rest assured, they'll be back.

You know they will, it's like the Night of the Living Dead, the creeps keep coming and coming. But fortunately one of them Larry Craig will be retiring to his restroom resort after this year.

[Lexington Green]

McCain is saddened.

[AuntB]

One down, how many more to go??

[JimRed]

Next time they’ll try to sneak it in under the radar attached to some much lower profile legislation.

[TLI]

Sen. Robert Menendez, a Democrat, objected to the immigrant farm labor provision, added to the measure at a hearing last week by Sens. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, and Larry Craig, a Republican. It would allow almost 1.4 million immigrant farm workers to stay in the United States for up to five years . . .

Yep, five years, every time they try to push an amnesty. It never fails.

[Dante3]

Yes, the same wild and crazy toe-tapper.

[Dante3]

McCain might need to take an extra dose of Valium.

Actually, Roy Beck of NumbersUSA has just written us with a request to keep calling our senators:

"Unfortunately, the H-2B low-sill worker increase is still in the Iraq Supplemental so your phone calls are still needed. . . . Please keep phoning your Senators throughout the day and ask them to strip the H-2B increase from the Iraq Supplemental spending bill."

Please, please, please: All those reading this thread, call your senators. We need to keep the pressure on, and I've been giving my duplicitous senators hell for a long time and plan on calling several more times today. It is the least we can do besides contributing to FAIR and NumbersUSA.

Regards . . . Penny

[TLI]

McCain is saddened.

Oh golly no! He has "heard the voice of the people" and "learned his lesson."

Translation: Just lie about amnesty 100% of the time.

[Dante3]

Craig is one of those senators who vote on conservative issues just enough to fool the voters, then zap them on issues that cause real damage to this country. Craig even voted against the Cronyn amendment.

[Dante3]

Please keep calling - see #31. I do not know if this news can be added to the title.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Now we know yet another reason Ms Feinstein wants a "Fairness Doctrine."

It's not just to shield hubby's dealings.

[Dante3]

Let’s keep calling. It will take only a little time and can make a difference.

[Penny]

Yes, and thank you! So often we spend more time whining about matters instead of acting on them. My two senators are Hutchison and Cornyn, vile creatures with five talking mouths apiece. Thank goodness this is her last term lest she continue to damage Texas and our country! As for Cornyn, well, he is nothing but a wannabe president who occasionally throws a token at us conservatives.

Best regards . . . Penny

Thanks for the heads up Penny.

It would allow almost 1.4 million immigrant farm workers to stay in the United States for up to five years . . .

I'm trying to imagine what Menendez wants. Even though it provides amnesty, and a path to permanent resident and citizenship, he wanted to kill the bill because it was "too little to help immigrant workers." Maybe he wants the government of Mexico to take control of the USA? Actually, in certain ways that is as good as true.

[Ron H.]

I guess Craig really blew this one.

Or put another way, 'He went down on the Bill'. </queer pun>
