little Harry's lunch money gone againallowing the repubs to use a Dem healthcare amendment that has zero chance of passage to tie up the place for a day. and then as Harry unwedgies his underpants he directs his spokesman to release some weakass piece of shit about funding for "the troops", the kind of pandering crap that anyone with a brain knows only works for the repubs. it is unpossible for there to be a less effective majority leader than Reid
.
if Reid isn't cashing a paycheck from the RNC he certainly should be. he has joined with the Republicans in slowing down this healthcare bill at every opportunity. recall when he anointed the non-doings of Baucus' finance committee way back at the end of the summer.

via Steve Benen "* Update: Demonstrating, once again, who the bigger man is, Sanders pulled his amendment, rather than let the delays continue. He called the GOP tactics an "outrage," which seems like the appropriate description."
pulling the amendment is what should have been done instantly. and the GOP tactics are not an "outrage", they are exactly what they said they were going to do. can someone on the Dem team buy a fucking clue?

if you squint your eyes and tilt your head and smoke some dope, this is Santa and his reindeer after crashing into a big red tree and there's a giant blue slinky too. one of the reindeer has been decapitated and his head is on fire. and also Santa has a stiffy. plus these are the lyrics to my new Christmas song. and I'm not kiddin'. plus I can't photograph Christmas lights for shit nor shinola. trust me, when seen from the highway these lights look like a fabulous mess. 6 out of 10 passersby are heard to remark, is that idiot drinkin' again?
and for Easter they can do a Crucifixmas tree, or maybe a bunny nailed to a cross. New Years Eve toasts can be made with a glass of water and a prayer. 4th of July would be great for burning crosses, unless the Klan has some sort of trademark rights. Halloween is perfect for blood of Christ candy, trick and turn the other cheek. of course loaves and fishes for Thanksgiving. Valentine's Day is a toughie, maybe something with Cupid's arrows and stigmata. Arbor Day is a nobrainer ...
oh noes, look what hell the sketch artists have unleashed
