The House floor erupted in one of the loudest cheers the chamber has heard in years when Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), an hour before midnight, cast the 218th and deciding vote on landmark health care reform.
There were still six minutes and fifty-two seconds on the clock and the chair made a move to gavel the vote closed.
Begging for money...Obama's camp panics.
The following was sent to my private e-mail...obviously by mistake.... because I am on the side that is REALLY winning. The proponents on the obamacare debacle are not below begging for handouts from even those who are ardent opposers of this travesty of legislation. I think it is hysterical and shows just how panicked Obama's camp is about this FAILURE. Read on for a GOOD laugh. Oh......BTW.......I deleted their links for people to "DONATE" money for their cause. They will not be getting ANY help from me....not even a LINK!
Cheekyredhead....official opposer of the Obamanation which is this health care initiative.

Conservatives racing ahead in EU parliament voting By CONSTANT BRAND and ROBERT WIELAARD, Associated Press Writers Constant Brand And Robert Wielaard, Associated Press Writers BRUSSELS – Conservatives raced toward victory in some of Europe's largest economies Sunday as initial results and exit polls showed voters punishing left-leaning parties in European parliament elections in France, Germany and elsewhere. Some right-leaning parties said the results vindicated their reluctance to spend more on company bailouts and fiscal stimulus amid the global economic crisis. First projections by the European Union showed center-right parties would have the most seats — between 263 and 273 — in the 736-member parliament.Promises, Promises: Indian healthcare needs unmet

February 23rd, 2009 12:52 am (Works and Days) Some Reflections in the Times of Hysteria Imagine… Had anyone said a few months ago that the federal government would step in to provide a trillion dollars to subsidize gasoline—to bring it down to $1.85 a gallon nationwide from prices that were exceeding $4 a gallon—we would have had a national debate. And yet as quietly as the Iraq war cooled down and was ignored, so too we think nothing of the hundreds of billions of dollars saved in reduced energy costs. For the average driver who puts 15,000 miles on his car per year, the annual savings (depending on regional prices, miles per gallon, and the amount and type of miles driven) could reach $1500-2000.Canadian Politics 101 (for Martini ☺)

(public)
Motherjones.com Does John McCain really think Meg Whitman would make a good treasury secretary, or was he just trying to win over a few Hillary voters when he was asked a question on this topic during Tuesday's debate? I suspect the latter. We all know that eBay is the province of millions of housewives making a few bucks selling yard-sale junk, votes McCain desperately needs.
