Not a genius bar of knowledge or a bastion of clever quotes, these posts deliver the heart and soul of a citizen with a voice; a person trying to navigate an increasingly complex world.

stalling out in the middle of the highway…

i plucked this piece of info from The Hill:

topics of bills that have been passed but have been stalled out in the senate:  “health care reform; climate change; food safety; financial aid for the US Postal Service; a job security act for wounded veterans; a Civil War battlefield preservation act; vision care for children; the naming of a federal courthouse in Iowa after former Rep. Jim Leach (R-Iowa); a National Historic Park named for President Jimmy Carter; a bill to improve absentee ballot voting; a bill to improve cybersecurity; and the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act.”

some conclusions about this, in no particular order…

  1. Nancy Pelosi is a badass
  2. Harry Reid is worthless
  3. the entire Senate needs to be re-elected
  4. Civil War battlefield preservation is played-out and SUCH a 20th century fad
  5. mail will only come 4 days a week before 2015
  6. we don’t need any new parks, because there’s too much oil in the country that we have to drill around randomly to find
  7. absentee ballots are perfect, that’s why our voter turnout is so awesome and the voter turnout of malta is so shitty (malta?  really???)
  8. consumers don’t need anymore protection!
  9. climate change MUST be a farce
