1. I know. I grumbled some obcenities when I hear it just now.

I HOPE they don't need the old fart!

[karlrschneider]

2. Do you know what this Cochran amendment they're voting on right now is about?

I've been trying to juggle 4 different chores this afternoon...:eyes:
edit: okay it removes the timetable from the principal bill's language. Just saw the explanation.

3. It removes the timetable

from the Iraq War Funding bill.

4. If they are so damn f*g worried about a damn date

on a calendar, then make it 'secret' to be acted on by Congress in the future and be done with it. Doesn't ANYONE up there have ANY common sense they were suppposedly born with? Geeesh.

[karlrschneider]

5. Yep I discovered that. TRYING to keep score but got distracted & lost count.

:grr:

[Iwasthere]

6. me too

Close though huh?

[tkmorris]

7. Mainly party lines

Only exception I know of is Hagel, who voted against. Might be more though, my attention is divided.

8. I'm sick of LIEberman.

:grr:

[napi21]

9. They didn't need Deadeye! The ammendment failed!

[tkmorris]

10. Assuming Lieberman voted yes

We still lost another D vote in there somewhere. Anyone see who? An absentee?

[Ilsa]

11. I heard them name an absentee, but don't remember who... nt

13. The Dems should schedule similar votes every day.

Just to keep Dick away from his undisclosed locations.

14. Yes! Several times a day!

All that running back and forth for voting might finally be the last straw for that struggling heart! (well, I CAN dream, they'll never take that from me....)
