Ted cruz is still doing his fake fillibuster.... and everyone is paying attention. The media is eating it up like candy.
That said, the media all but ignored the Late Senator Robert Byrd's speech decrying the 2002 Iraq war resolution. I guess not going to war isn't as sexy as watching a man make a mockery of the senate.
One man wept for his country. Another read Green Eggs and Ham.
Let's get this going.

The Guarantee! Slowly, I turned....
It's the backbone of the company, yes....but we call it "LL Bean Rentals" on the inside. You should see the stuff that comes back "because I wasn't satisfied". Some days we actually lose money in the store because we take in more returns that we do in daily sales.

On a non-political note, according to the MSNBC story Ted Cruz hasn't even taken a bathroom break in over 20 hours. All that continuous talking creates a lot of physical strain on the vocal cords, and also dehydrates the body. He must have been drinking some water in that time to keep himself hydrated.
So it begs the question.. Did he catheterize himself before this?

Nice to know who's in charge. From KOS:
If you're wondering when Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) will wrap up his marathon non-filibuster floor speech in opposition to funding the Affordable Care Act, sometime before 1 p.m. EDT seems like a good bet. According to RushLimbaugh.com, that's when the Texas senator will appear on Rush Limbaugh's radio program.

Hello, bloggers!!
I am home today and having lunch after a lot of housework.
As for Ted Cruz, I have to wonder about the future of the GOP. Is there room for debate in the party? If not, they may shrink further to the point of becoming a shadow of themselves. (Not that I am going to complain if the current GOP goes the way of the Whigs, but it will be a very different political environment.)

the layers of idiocracy here are Mind numbing.
His yammering was to prevent the house version from getting to the senate floor becuase he know the defunding of obamacare would be stripped. in essence -- he was asking for a vote of no for the house bill version that he endorsed.

This is pertinent regarding Health care reform.
And there it is. This point needs to be driven home...
"Make your own decisions about whether this is good for you," Obama said. "Because what we are confident in is that, when people look and see that they can get high-quality, affordable healthcare for less than their cell phone bill, they're going to sign up."
And there it is. This point needs to be driven home...

My months of complaining have paid off! I now have a somewhat newer out of date computer rather that the POS I used to have here at work.

Chuck Todd SUCKS as a debate moderator.
I will vote for McCauliffe -- but he's not helping himself tonite in this debate.

I remember back in 1999 I joshed a co-worker for saying his computer had a gig of Ram.
I joshed becuase at the time it was lunacy to think it was possible. You've come a long way baby...
