Did you happen to see the NYTimes “Alert” just in? <br />Republican-Led Filibuster Blocks Minimum Wage Bill in Senate<br /><br />How long did it take before you stopped laughing?<br /><br />Senator Wobble Knees Reid, best known for his shtick of playing the sheriff at the jailhouse door for Grade B Westerns, was heard to say: <br /><br />“Oh dear me: 54 yes - 34 no. Looks like we're beat again. Those nasty Republicans threatened to filibuster our nice bill. Of course, if it were important enough, I’d have changed the rules from super majority to simple majority. But we’re only talking about bread for the poorest among us.<br /><br />"Sigh. The poor must remain poor a while longer. Barry will be so disappointed. Still, the vote will serve us well as a campaign issue. Tomorrow, we’ll issue the usual ‘Hey, We Tried’ press release to let everybody know Democrats wear the white hats.”Jay–Ottawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10360356126450612113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-974773076690597683.post-52806002423581322014-04-30T17:05:23.100-04:002014-04-30T17:05:23.100-04:00"We have met the enemy and he is us".

They caused unbelievable mayhem -- <br /> and remember that ‘nightingale’ was the last word Forrestal wrote out in his diary, copying out the chorus from “Ajax,” before he committed suicide. Very timely. All of these events today are rooted in history.Also see “The Dark Side of the Ukraine Revolt, the rise of the quasi-fascists” <br /> on Stop the War Coalition http://ow.ly/ukuS6<br /><br /> Read “American Chicken Hawks <br /> and Ukraine” by Jim Lobe http://ow.ly/ukviE " <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Pearlnoreply@blogger.com
