I am off to mow the lawn, blow the leaves, brush the dogs, and just do anything to NOT sit through the certain to be agonizing stuff spewing out of the Repub's mouths. Thanks for your service to DU (those of you who watch and report on it)....I confess, I just can't bring myself to do it! We need Health Care reform too badly, and the reasons get far too twisted why we shouldn't....it is too obvious to me, so I can't subject myself to "American Politics in Action" today!

1. It isn't health care reform. It's a big wet kiss to Insurance companies and
Big Pharma.

3. Michigan vs. Ohio State is on.
This M grad expects defeat but it will be better than the debate, and I will feel like I've been a good alum.

10. The fun part is at the very end when they vote.
I watched a lot of the House debate, so 'been there, done that.'. Not watching today.

But I swear my heart was thumping when they started voting.

12. Leaf pickup time
I always flip back and forth so as not to ever listen to the Repulitrolls - they are hate-filled "kill your grandma and blame it on the Dems" ignoramuses of the first degree and nothing they say it worth hearing.

14. No, I'd want to kill each and every one of those overfed, clueless old farts
who simply can't get it through their cement heads that people are dying while they diddle around.

Assholes!
