To sign a petition that urges the House of Representatives to grow a fucking spine, please go here: http://www.pfaw.org/go/StopImmunity

In case you were stuck in a political prison camp/had your head in a hole last week, here's the story about how the Senate utterly failed to prove their worth as vertebrates.

Let's see if the House can do better.

Done! I wonder why there's still concern on this....

Oh, and I've heard rumors that our very own rep, Nancy Boyda, was influencial in getting the House to grow something akin to a spine. Go Nancy!

I wonder why there's still concern on this

Because there are politicians involved?

You know. Just guessin'.

According to my e-mails, a vote on FISA in the House was last week, and it got turned down.

Well, it's not very hopeful.

But to hijack your post, this pisses me off about American politics more than anything... the filibuster.
Mr. Dodd, who spoke on the floor for more than 20 hours in recent weeks in an effort to stall the bill,

Regardless of for or against, that part of the process of the legislative branch is just a fucking waste of time and money.

Oh, but haven't you ever seen Mr. Smith Goes To Washington? Jimmy Stewart made a pretty noble fillibuster-er. =D
