2. I like how that took simple majority
but naming a fuckin' post office two minutes later takes 2/3rds.

8. I agree
If Harry Reid cannot get his bill through the Senate, and he needs to overcome a possible filibuster, then it makes Boner look "able".

6. To be fair, Pelosi passed a lot of bills that went nowhere too
Like the DREAM Act, which was not meaningless but indeed went nowhere.

But if you want to talk about meaningless, there was the toothless non-binding resolution of disapproval of Bush's surge in Iraq. A meaningless bill that had no power and went nowhere in the Senate. As I recall the Senators got all tied up in knots over the language of the non-binding resolution before finally dropping the whole thing.

7. Are the media chuckleheads mentioning that little detail?
You and me and all of the people we know are well aware that this House bill is completely meaningless, and has zero chance of being enacted into law. (Oh, how things have changed since the days of Terri Schiavo, huh?)

But are the nitwits on the teevee mentioning that at all? From what I've seen the last couple of days, everyone is babbling about this "historic" bit of legislation as if it means anything more than a fart in a windstorm. I hope Luke Russert comes out soon to tell us all what this means for his g-g-generation.
