It’s snowing! 😀 » Posted By Scheherazade On December 24, 2009 @ 8:31 am I’ve actually got a few ideas about how to do that very thing. Indeed, I’ve got several ideas about things that can be done. I’m going to send an email to AdLib about them, but first let’s celebrate the end of 2009. [hic!] 😉 » Posted By Scheherazade On December 24, 2009 @ 7:22 am I’ve not been over there in the last day or two, but there are some that post there who would be awesome people to have here. 🙂 As far as their reporting goes The Daily Beast is relatively tame and usually offers various opinions that don’t lean to far one way or the other that I’ve seen. FDL has been hard on this administration for quite some time actually. Although, it must be said that they are hard on anyone who doesn’t toe the progressive line. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 24, 2009 @ 6:38 am AWESOME!!! 😀 » Posted By Scheherazade On December 24, 2009 @ 6:35 am You know we could all sign up for free websites via geocities, xoom, angelfire, etc and then put redirects in them to send people here. 🙂 That would be one way to bypass HP’s nasty mods! » Posted By Scheherazade On December 24, 2009 @ 6:02 am I do hope your sister improves. 🙁 Please keep us posted, and let us know how you’re doing too.

A spokesman for Carney declined to say if the congressman was considering such a switch. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 2:38 pm You might enjoy these articles, my friend. 🙂 Why I Still Believe in This Bill » Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 2:34 pm From Talking Points Memo Editor’s Blog: All Done … Almost » Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 1:56 pm The final vote the Republican’s can filibuster is just happened.

Byrd (which would have deprived Senate Democrats of their 60 votes) might have gotten misrouted through the prayer exchange and taken out Sen. Jim Inhofe. But was it a spoof or the real thing? Like most grand philosophical questions, there probably is not sufficient evidence to definitively answer the question one way or another. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be a fun day before Christmas Eve parlor game. So we want your opinion. Listen to the tape and let us know what you think. To get you started, here’s TPM Reader JW’s analysis of the evidence which tells him it was a hoax …
Although there is no way of telling 100%, the call pretty clearly appears to be from someone trying a “Borat”-style attack on teabaggers, not an actual teabagger. 1) The caller says he’s from a “small tea bag group.” I believe most tea party / teabaggers avoid using the “tea bag” term when referring to themselves. Not to be obscene, but “small tea bag” has a double meaning that is a pretty clear indication this is a prank. 2) The caller seems very interesting in getting Republican Sen. Barrasso to say he was praying for Sen. Byrd to die. This looks like an attempt to catch a Republican Senator in a grisly faux pas, not a genuine expression of concern. 3) The point of the call is that the caller is worried (crying even!) that his prayers for the death of one guy he dislikes accidentally hit a guy he likes. How many genuinely religious people would think that way? Obviously there are certain religious folks who believe God would try to kill their enemies, but how many would believe that God could “miss” and hit a someone they like? I mean, c’mon!
I have to say each of these points are pretty suggestive of fakery, though in different ways. I’m not totally convinced on Point 1, because quite a few Tea Partiers find their way into “tea bag” references or just use the phrase in general. Remember, it wasn’t mocking Dems who started using the phrase. Still it’s a suggestive point. Two, for my money, may be the best example of fakery, since, yeah, the purported Tea Partier does seem to want to goad Barraso into a discussion of how hard he prayed for Byrd’s demise. But again, what do you think?
» Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 11:37 am I’ve never thought it was a prank. I’d say that idea is being put out there in the hope that this won’t further tarnish the GOP. » Posted By Scheherazade On December 23, 2009 @ 9:53 am Judge Rejects “Necessity Defense” by Roeder’s Legal Team These are the links to PDF files I’ve found thus far related to the case number.

The White House just announced that President Obama will deliver brief remarks tomorrow morning at 8:45 ET, after the Senate votes on its health care bill. The Obama family will then depart for Hawaii at 10 a.m., and return Jan. 3.
Senate Democrats are holding a press conference right now, following their successful vote to break a Republican filibuster and set up passage of the bill tomorrow morning. There are lots of smiles, thank-yous to staff and colleagues, and remembrances of the late Ted Kennedy.
The Senate just succeeded in the last of three cloture votes. 60-39. That cues things up for tomorrow’s vote on the actual legislation. A simple majority vote required.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just moved the final vote on the Senate health care bill one hour earlier, to 7 a.m. Thursday.
SC attorney general, counterparts, scrutinize dealmaking on US Senate health care legislation
Several clear (to me at least) giveaways:
To shake the Salt (Mat 5:13) of the highest principles neighbors know (including the Bible) into those public forums where America decides whether to “legislate” the “morality” of Satan, or of God — whether to criminalize evil, or legally protect it — whether to honor the decent and innocent, or sue and slay them. Proverbs 29:2 When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
