Back to Work - for now
Author: BobR

It's finally over. This national embarrasment and manufactured crisis was totally avoidable, yet avoiding it wasn't really in their plans. After all the failed bills, after all the posturing, after all the billions lost, we are right where we would have been had Speaker Boehner let a "clean" bill come to the floor back when he first had the opportunity.
The Senate passed the bi-partisan bill yesterday afternoon with a strong margin. It was truly bipartisan, thanks to several smart and level-headed women. Boehner knew his bluff had been called, so he laid down his cards and backed away from the table. The bill passed the House last night by a healthy margin.
The Republicans got none of what they wanted. The Democrats held strong in their demand that bills need to be passed, blocked, or revoked via standard means, not by budget or spending resolutions. Republicans so concerned about debt and deficits ended up costing us billions in lost productivity and tarnishing the gold standard of investing: T-bills.
It's not like this was accidental. This was the Republicans' plan all along:
What that means is that they prevented anyone else from bring a bill passed by the Senate up for a vote in an effort to avoid a shutdown. The parliamentary shenanigans worked, and the government shut down. As a result, thousands of people were suddenly without a paycheck. Republicans seemed surprised that when government shuts down, that means the stuff they like shuts down too, not just the EPA.
I think they were hoping that President Obama would try something to avert the shutdown and/or default, so they could accuse him of crimes against the Constitution and impeach him. President Obama is a little too smart to get tricked like that.
The downside of all this is that this kicks the can down the road for three months, so we can go through all this all over again. One of the requirements of this deal is that the House and Senate Dems and Reps sit down together and hash out something that's going to work by mid-December. I have my doubts as to whether that will actually happen.
In the meantime, we can finally stop talking about the shutdown and debt limit and once again focus on all the other things going in this country and world... You know - little things like a hurricane hitting the disabled Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan.
Hmmm - maybe I'd rather talk about Republicans and the budget.

It's not like this was accidental. This was the Republicans' plan all along:
Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) recently revealed that House Republicans had changed a rule effectively allowing only Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) to end a looming government shutdown — but two weeks ago, it was Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY) who had the foresight to grill the Rules Committee chairman for what she called an “atrocity.”
In a clip that turned up online on Monday, Slaughter takes on Rule Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX) after sensing that something didn’t smell right with the rule change.
The new rule allowed only Cantor or his designee to bring up Senate legislation for a vote if the Senate rejected a motion to work out the two chambers’ differences in conference committee.
What that means is that they prevented anyone else from bring a bill passed by the Senate up for a vote in an effort to avoid a shutdown.

Got Lucky's ashes yesterday. He will rest next to Buddy in the hutch they both loved to sleep in.
I wish to thank the Red Sox for tanking so early last night allowing me to get some sleep I desperately need.
I don't think the only good Republican is a dead one any more, since some actually acted like adults yesterday. But that can change.

Morning all! Glad to see that both Georgia senators supported the bill It's been a LOOOOOOONG time since I could say that.
Meantime, I'm looking at my present and former Congressional districts to see who voted how
Ron DeSantis (R-FL) - N
John Barrow (D-GA) - Y
Mark Meadows (R-NC) - N
Virginia Foxx (R-NC) - N
Paul Broun (R-GA) - N
Joe Wilson (R-SC) - N
Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) - N
Hank Johnson (D-GA) - Y
1 out of 4 isn't bad, right?

Oh, I see: I hope they didn't sneak something stupid in there -- or forget to take crap out.
This was the "vehicle" for passage of the bill that ended the government shutdown and raised the debt ceiling. This bill was introduced regarding an unrelated matter. It had been passed by the House. On Oct. 16, the Senate amended the text of the bill, rewriting it completely with the negotiated deal. The Senate then passed the revised bill and sent it back to the House for a final vote. The revised text will appear on GovTrack in the next few days, after it is printed by the Government Printing Office.

Morning, comrades. Seen my Book of Face recently?
I happened to see a Tesla parked outside Tufts Health Plan in Watertown, MA last night. (Very cool - first one I've seen, and with California plates, no less.)
So, my right wing toolfriend had to denigrate the thing. I countered with the $500 million wasted aircraft story from yesterday, which he declared a "non-sequitir" (because you know, it's the defense industry
He went on to mention that they "catch fire" and "spend too much time in the shop". So, like a good bomar, I did his homework for him. I found a single reference to a Tesla fire on all the internets....and it was because it was in a road accident and ran over some debris that penetrated the power pack.
Like no gasoline-powered car has ever been in an accident that resulted in a leaking gas tank?
(Coincidence - I saw an Acura fully-engulfed out on Route 128 while driving to the Scout Office yesterday.)
I do wonder what it is like living in an alternate reality.

So this was my friend's week as federal employee. Since the Corps of Engineers had carryover funding they didn't start furloughing employees until yesterday. So he went to his office Tuesday to sign the furlough paper work. Yesterday he was doing housework and helping his sick mom. Today he might be going work or not, depends on how his mom is doing.

He went on to mention that they "catch fire" and "spend too much time in the shop". So, like a good bomar, I did his homework for him. I found a single reference to a Tesla fire on all the internets....and it was because it was in a road accident and ran over some debris that penetrated the power pack.
Like no gasoline-powered car has ever been in an accident that resulted in a leaking gas tank?
(Coincidence - I saw an Acura fully-engulfed out on Route 128 while driving to the Scout Office yesterday.)
I do wonder what it is like living in an alternate reality.
I saw both a black Tesla AND a Maserati on 128 yesterday.
Taking a Maserati on 128 during rush hour should be considered an insane action.
A Maserati on 128? During rush hour? Yes that is just crazy.
He was trying to leave 2 car lengths of space in front of him. Needless to say, Massholes abhor a vacuum and filled in that space quickly.
I tend to forget that Massholes view driving as a contact sport. We should import some down here to teach people here how to drive. Especially with merging. They need help here. Lots of help.

Yes! Because I am like the narcissistic soprano, it is always about memememememe!

That would be the House Committee on Government Over Site. Chaired by who?
