Sharing Notes on Parliamentary Procedure?

mpmarus — Thu, 25 Apr 2013 02:31:38 GMT

The recent report of procedural shenanigans in the state senate sound a lot like an SDEC meeting run by Nancy Worley. One wonders if Ivey has been taking lessons from Worley or vice versa?

Personal Irony

Having read my posts for the past five years, can you believe I am managing a store for the (Roman Catholic) St. Vincent de Paul Society? This is the one thing the Church does that I truly believe in and I love merchandising anyway.

Kick the can down the field, and hope a Democrat comes along to deal with it.

"I look at the Palestinians as not wanting to see peace anyway, for political purposes, committed to the destruction and elimination of Israel...So what you do is, you move things along the best way you can. You hope for some degree of stability, but you recognize that this is going to remain an unsolved problem...and we kick the ball down the field and hope that ultimately, somehow, something will happen and resolve it."

I detest war. It might not be the worst thing to befall human beings, but it is wretched beyond all description. John McCain in 2008.

But in Tampa, he sure sounded nostalgic about war everywhere. I wonder how Mitt feels...he hasn't said.

And youpeople thought she didn't understand hardship.

But he invested Mitt’s birthday money year to year — it wasn’t much, a few thousand, but he put it into American Motors because he believed in himself. Five years later, stock that had been $6 a share was $96 and Mitt cashed it so we could live and pay for education.” Ann Romney

Legislator Pulls Gun In Road Rage Incident

mooncat — Tue, 24 Jul 2012 16:52:30 GMT

This was in Washington state ... not Alabama.

A Spokane Valley legislator pulled a gun during a confrontation with another motorist last November in what police reports describe as a road rage incident. He was cited for two violations of state firearms law.

This guy's gun wasn't loaded, which is probably a good thing. But it illustrates how readily the presence of a gun can kick disputes up to the next level. Even when supposedly level-headed people like legislators are the ones with the gun.

Times change, especially for Mitt.

If you want to live like a Republican, vote like a Democrat.

And there it is in a nutshell. Dems will bring prosperity, but we need more of them.

Either brain dead or lying!
