If only Wordpress had a spell-checker, I could blame it on that, but instead I'll blame it on delicious Jameson Irish Whiskey. Heaven knows I'm not going to make myself accountable for such an error. One day I hope to be a congressman. Thank you Professor. If only WordPress had a spell-checker, I could blame it on that, but instead I’ll blame it on delicious Jameson Irish Whiskey.

Wretched is an adjective meaning "deeply afflicted, dejected, or distressed in mind or body". Retched is the past tense of the verb to retch, which means "to make an effort to vomit". It is entirely possible that some of the members felt wretched at the sight, let alone the stench, of the Senate's "present". It is equally possible that some members retched. However, I think it more likely that the members sent their staffers for bibs and cutlery. After all, waste not; want not. Cordially, The Professor Well said, with the exception of the word “wretched”.

Beautiful. The other day, my analogy was that the House Republicans put the bill in a bag, lit it and rang Pelosi's doorbell. Maybe they will do it again. Note ... Market futures are lower tonight. Note, too ... virtually all of them in tough re-election fights are voting "No". House vote will be much closer. What a classic and appropriate visual … and olfactory? image. Beautiful.

I can't believe the clowns added additional pork to their can of peaches. What a disaster. Hey, it's only our tax-money money. It seems writing both my esteemed Senators had little effect as well.

I guess my impassioned emails and phone calls to Corker and LAMAR! didn't do a whole lot of good. Then again, it was an opportunity for them to grab a big sack of money and power for the Federal Goverment, their biggest constituents. I’m with you, Karen.
