So, does the UC agreement go through tonight?

hi

And I get to summarize them all.

302 amendments to the energy bill. AHHHHH!

I'm with you on that one.

Mmmmmmmmm. . .   a fatty

Well, Domenici staff claimed they were hunting pants... but they were plaid and flannel, so no need to split hairs.

My boss is grievously mentally challenged, yet is re-elected time and again. Join the club.

the whole energy debate really proved to me how senile domenici really is. he was found walking the halls in his pajamas earlier this year, right?

if anyone has an extra ticket to The National tonight at 9:30, email me at bobboblaw@hotmail.com.

If Grassley tells me that corn producers get a nickel for every box of cornflakes one more time... well, I'll be peeved I guess.  But seriously, I get the message.  I also understand that Dorgan found it hard to date in his Model T.  Byrd and Domenici get a pass for being senile... these guys have no excuse.

I mean... if you got 'em

From the AP...only a matter of time before the Religious right tries to use this to buttress their argument about the dangers of sex...

COLUMBIA, S.C. — 

Police on Wednesday were investigating how a
naked couple fell 50 feet from the roof of a downtown office building
to their deaths.

The bodies were found on the road by a passing cabdriver around 5 a.m. Wednesday.

Clothing was discovered on the roof, leading authorities to suspect
the man and woman, in their early 20s, may have been having sex. Their
identities were not released.

"It's too early to rule out anything," Columbia police Sgt. Florence McCants said, but McCants said a preliminary investigation didn't show any sign of foul play.

Ditto.

Ditto that

Not me.  Although sometimes I wish I had a big fatty to smoke.

how many of you drink during work hours? i'm not talking about a beer or martini at lunch, but a vodka-laced soda or such at your desk?

YOU will note that I said "Democratic base" 

You will note that blue states contribute to the nation, while red states take money from the nation...

A member's test reulsts would correspond with the intelegence levels of
voters in his district.  In other words, red state districts would be
screwed.  Yes we all know that the Democratic base is more intelligent.  How else can one explain how they've figured out a way to freeload off of those in the country who actually work.

hang around the intern lecture series

where do you go to meet slutty interns?

Poll: By how many seats do you think Congressional ranks would be reduced if an intelligence test were required for membership? My boss is grievously mentally challenged, yet is re-elected time and again.

We need an August recess countdown clock like the one that Pelosi and Hoyer used for the first 100 hours.  Except instead of slowing it down, we speed it up. 

I have a theory that Michele Bachmann is Katherine Harris in disguise. They look alike. Both are bat-shit crazy and seriously gaffe-prone. Bachmann came to the House the year Harris left. I think it's pretty clear what's going on here.

one girl i know is seriously hard up.  

Perhaps the "Congressman" answer is here.

the mystery deepens every time it is asked

Does anyone know why Marsha Blackburn refers to herself as "Congressman Marsha Blackburn?"

"laying the pipe." that's new to me. i'll have to start using it.

On slutty interns:

I was a slutty intern.  I was laying the pipe to our press secretary during my internship.  Made things a little weird for me when I got hired into the office.  She left about 6 months later, I'm guessing because she couldn't ever look at me without thinking about some of the nasty things I did to her.

Certainly there is another way for a nice, young, supple intern to make money on the hill.

How slutty is everyone's staff this year?

Or a jello-mold.

tamales are pretty labor-intensive, and selling them is sort of traditional.  it's weird alright, but not as weird as if it were sandwiches.

"Democrats to Tack New Stem-Cell Measure Onto Labor-HHS Bill. With President Bush expected to veto a bipartisan stem-cell research bill today,
Senate Democrats have decided to try to force through a narrower expansion of
the controversial research on human embryos by tacking it onto an appropriations
bill."

not slutty enough.

They do aim to please

tamales.

How slutty are everyone's interns this year?

I haven't had lunch yet - is the food good and the prices reasonable?

What did she make?

weird. so an intern in my office made lunch for everyone in the office today. which is nice. but she's charging people for it. i understand -- we don't pay interns, and they may not really have a source of income. but this seems kind of strange, to be selling food out of the office.

That's so true. And fitting.

I'd hate to work for House Admin. How ironic is it that the committee tasked with administrative tasks has an office filled with stacks of paper lined up to the ceiling?

Best keep away from the topic of the internet, Teddy. Yeah, no kidding.

Any good house parties this weekend?

Sen. Stevens in Rules Committee hearing: "Bloggers are really nothing more than paid political advertisements"

Best keep away from the topic of the internet, Teddy.

Foreign Relations

in that case, which would be the best committee to work for?

Maria Cantwell--hot and crazy as hell

Screw MOCs -- work for a Committee

Coburn would be fun.  You'd sit around all day thinking of ways to hold everyones shit up.

Tancredo - Hey, at least you only have to worry about issue. He'll deport all Mexicans and then you're done for the day.

Tim Ryan. He knows how to deliver a floor speech.

Dick Lugar…he’s not partisan, seems to look at issues from
all angles, doesn’t waste time attacking other members, beyond intelligent.

is anyone else really horny

Bernie Sanders. He seems pretty awesome. Crazy old dude with sound positions.

Is there another Member (House or Senate) that you wouldn’t
mind working for? Someone that you really respect…based on how they work with
other Members, how they deal with the issues, …etc.

What do people think about making English the official language?   Cualquier persona que gastado en cualquier momento fuera de los estados -- o los estados rojos para esa materia -- sepa el mundo es un lugar grande, pero americanos hablará siempre inglés.

...because Voters are stupid

What do people think about making English the official language? I put it right in line with the marriage amendment or the flag burning amendment....WE all know that they never have a chance of passing or won't have any real effect on anything. They only serve one real purpose...they rally the base...constiuents get active and motivated to contribute when these things come up. Why do they keep falling for it?

Wo-hoo: "Majority Leader Reid said Tuesday that the Senate can wrap up
energy and immigration bills and begin work on defense authorization
before the Independence Day recess, but Republicans warned that his
plan to hold five cloture votes might derail that plan. Reid is considering five cloture votes in the next few days,
including three filed Tuesday on the energy bill -- the original House
bill, the substitute Senate bill and the Finance Committee's tax
package -- and one each on the immigration and union 'card-check' bills."

What do people think about making English the official language? It's one of those issues, I think, that Democrats ought to be willing to negotiate on. It doesn't have an impact on many people's lives. It's a good symbolic gesture that doesn't really have much of a consequence. Same with prayer in the classrooms.

I’ve had a few calls from people saying, “Make them speak
American!” What?!? Hey fuckstick…what did you just say?

clinton's interns have got to be smoking crack

really. i just don't understand it. these people come. most of them work hard, don't cause trouble, and just try to get by. let's cut them a break, make them legal, create a system that discourages more illegal immigrants from coming (e.g., employment varification), increase the number of high-skilled visas, and let's move on. it seems pretty simple.

If Congress authorized the building of a fence along the entire southern border (which they never will...because it's an incredibly stupid idea)...they would call us complaining that we spend so much money on a wall that people still go over, under, and around.

I don't think people have thought this wall concept through....

So many call, so uninformed, and so racist (at least a lot of them).

"A girl in high school catches you looking at her and she starts
wearing nice dresses," Sharpton said. "It doesn't mean she's going to
date you. But she's at least teasing you, so it really increases your
hope. This is a serious tease."

-Sharpton on Bloomberg

Every call is the exact same.  1. We don't need this new amnesty bill. 2. Enforce the laws that are already there.  3.  Build the wall.

If I hear the words "amnesty bill" one more time, I'm going to have a fit.

Great: "Homeland Security Department computers and cyber systems have been
infected with viruses and malicious scripts that could compromise
passwords and information on U.S. citizens, intelligence operations and
the nation's critical infrastructure, a House subcommittee has learned."
