112th Congress already wasting time and money

Huh. That’s interesting, and amusing that they read the repeal of Prohibition but not the enactment of it.

Personally, I think they should have read every word. Sadly, nobody asked me.

That sounds like how my Social Studies book in eight grade had it laid out. It crossed out everything that was superseded, but left the 21st completely alone.

And I think they can’t read the whole thing because some Southern White guy would invariably read one of the racist parts, and it would be offered as their true position in our sound-bite newspapers and news shows.

I think the GOP finally got a few black congressional members, so they could actually avoid this. Plus, I kinda like the symbolism of having a black congress member read how when the country started out, he didn’t count as a full person.

Did they read the bit about the slave trade being protected until the year 18whatever? That technically hasn’t been superseded, though its obviously pretty irrelevant nowadays.

Wait, what? I thought a bill was required to pass the House and the Senate to become a law. You will never see any of that become law and you know it, except maybe the robbery of Social Security because that’s strictly bipartisan.

Is this certain? It may take 60 votes for the Demos to pass a bill in the Senate, but the Repugnants only need 41 votes. All they need do (and some have already almost said as much) is commit to filibustering everything until the Demos agree to the entire Repugnant agenda and (since this is BBQ Pit) lick their scrufty a-holes clean.

What’s a “redacted” version of the Constitution?

“Redacted”: meaning edited. They basically left out the parts stricken out by application of amendments.

Indecently, I wonder if people who want other people to read the Bible are including all the begats?

They should have hired a Rabbi skilled at reading the Megillah.

I would totally watch Congress re-enacting an episode or two. But would Mr. Peebles ever find a buyer for them?

So… you get naked when you wonder that?

As a teacher, when I have the class read aloud, I can conduct it so everyone who wants to read can read at least a paragraph, I have them read from their seats, and I don’t intro each student. A group of 7[sup]th[/sup] graders I taught could’ve gotten through the reading in 1/3 the time.

And they would have made better Representatives than them.

What about this whole thing they’re calling their bid to repeal health care: “Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law”

Why stop there? I think it needs to be called the “Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law brought to us by that Anti-American Muslim Kenyan Negro President and his Pork-Barrel Bleeding-Heart Money Spending Democratic Party who want to set up Death Panels to kill your parents and eat your babies”?

Well, that’s just silly. Please. Bunch of pantywaist vegan hippie-dippies? They won’t eat your babies. They’ll just throw them out with the trash.

Get your stereotypes straight.

Also, she’s apparently Vietnamese. Way to be crazy, lady, I bet your folks weren’t even Americans when Barry Obama was born.

In Hawai’i. To non-lizard people.
