I have the same issue with greeting cards. I hate them. They're pre-manufactured thoughts designed so people don't need to actually think. Some computer prints the thing up, it's shipped to a million grocery stores, you toss it into the card, add a "happy holidays" and suddenly that's supposed to have meaning? Give me a break. Talk about impersonal. Why not just hire a service to fill out all the cards for you each year?AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-76047502050245868992010-12-15T21:27:24.316-05:002010-12-15T21:27:24.316-05:00I’m driving down Friday too pick up my mother for ...I’m driving down Friday too pick up my mother for Christmas, and bring her up until the New Year. She had a hip replacement about two months ago, and I spoke with her yesterday, she seemed hesitant about coming up. So I called my uncle to see if something was wrong with mom, her concern is the she hadn’t been able to shop for gifts. However as a consolation, she’s baking cookies, making candies (divivinity…whoa!!!!) this thing called gooey-cake…dude!!! brownies, various pies, etc. A virtual dessert counter at your favorite deli, and it will be riding north with me. Think about that for a minute!…she was concerned that she wasn’t able to by me a gift. A quick message from an older buffalo, to moms, wives, daughters. “Keep the gift, bake cookies! Yum!!!" I may leave a day earlier.<br /><br />There is one problem, I have two brothers living in the Atlanta area, and though it’s Christmas, they can find their own gooey-cake!StanHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395708786509590321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-81358027307467963892010-12-15T19:39:47.052-05:002010-12-15T19:39:47.052-05:00T_Rav, Very true, that is exactly communism!

I think the union contract is a ruse to give them a base of operations from which to operate their entrepreneurial ventures. In fact, they seem to be huge capitalists in all other matters. . . or maybe they're just schemers?

Don't you know that the Constitution is more like guidelines that are meant to stop Republican bills, but not Democratic bills?<br /><br />Seriously though, you are correct, although it's really, really rare that the Supreme Court strikes down laws for Congress failing to follow the proper process. Also, in this case, I think the Court would find that so long as the House approved the budget as well, they followed enough of the process to count.<br /><br />And in truth, for as long as I can recall, budgets have been handled in both chambers simultaneously.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-45186120261498522702010-12-15T17:12:00.766-05:002010-12-15T17:12:00.766-05:00boilerroomelf: elves get hit with duty...hehe...boilerroomelf: elves get hit with duty...hehe...pattihttp://www.notawonk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-43267990276720610272010-12-15T17:10:43.502-05:002010-12-15T17:10:43.502-05:00i also bow to bev. you can't go wrong with bo...i also bow to bev. you can't go wrong with booze. and as an aside to that, if you have a special someone who imbibes the hard stuff, i have had the new maker's 46. so smooth i almost slipped...pattihttp://www.notawonk.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-89413349451989219952010-12-15T17:08:42.305-05:002010-12-15T17:08:42.305-05:00Question for our barristers: How can a spending bi...Question for our barristers: How can a spending bill originate in the senate.
