I was up most of the night with L., who is in the midst of his first unresponsive-to-medication migraine. Three Tylenol 3s and 6 ibuprofen later, and he’s just comfortable enough to veg out on the sofa watching The Cat Returns.
So, I took this morning off, and J. took off this afternoon so he [...]

D4V readers should know that Senator Murray has taken another step to help improve our education system and give high school students greater opportunities to learn about good local careers and win scholarships to pay for post-secondary training. The federal budget includes the following appropriation, thanks to Senator Murray’s work.
In-Demand Scholars –$ 383,186

Go out and buy a car this year and save $600 on your taxes. That is the message being touted by Senator Cantwell and Representative Baird
Income tax forms
at Vancouver Ford yesterday as spewed by our local newspaper’s article, “Residents Reminded of Sales Tax Break”.
Here are a few facts our residents were not reminded about [...]

So what else is new? From Joe Palermo over at Huffpo:
Finally, by handing Bush yet another political victory Schumer (and his co-conspirator California Senator Dianne Feinstein) took the wind out of the Democratic Congress’s sails in its Constitutional struggle with one of the most belligerent and bellicose Chief Executives we’ve ever seen in our history. [...]

With Bush’s approval rating at 24%, it is a miracle of modern politics that the Democrats in Congress are still aiding and abetting his policies and illegal activities. What can you do about this? As Rob Call points out below, you can start by not giving the DCCC or any of the the [...]

Looks like the Senate IS going to have an “admonishment of the week” as I recommended in an earlier post (jokingly). This week it is Limbaugh.
Please don’t watch this whole video. I only watched the first 30 seconds. It doesn’t merit your time.

Never mind that the Senate is about to [...]

From Think Progress, Harry Reid refuses to declare himself on the Kyl-Lieberman amendment before he sees the changes, which are reported to be minor and do not impact the ability of BushCo to use it as permission to attack:
REID: There are efforts being made before we vote on them to modify those two amendments, because [...]

from Jon at A Tiny Revolution:
The horrible Kyl-Lieberman Amendment on Iran may be voted on in the Senate as soon as today. Call your senator right now (Capitol switchboard: 202-224-3121) to tell them to oppose it.
I don’t have any hope this will fail, but it would be nice for it not to be a shut [...]

Freedom’s on the march (everywhere but here, evidently):
A Republican filibuster in the Senate today shot down a bipartisan effort to restore the right of terrorism suspects to contest their detentions and treatment in federal courts, underscoring the Democratic-led Congress’s difficulty with terrorism issues.
The 56-43 vote fell short of the 60 needed to cut off debate [...]

Does Cheney have to shoot Chuck Schumer in the face on the floor of the Senate, while telling him to go fuck himself, before the Dems realize that BushCo will never willingly cooperate with a Democratic majority in Congress? That they will just keep breaking the law, and ignoring the Constitution, if they are [...]
