Print | Close this window Palin, Biden agree on gay rights at debate Thu Oct 2, 2008 11:32pm EDT ST. LOUIS (Reuters) - Equal rights for gay couples, a divisive issue in the 2004 U.S. presidential election, produced a rare moment of agreement in Thursday's vice presidential debate between...

I've been noticing ag chemical stocks dropping in unison as well. Flipping back through my diary as far as September 8, I see that chems as a sector were down 1.20%, even though the Dow was up 289. Looking at Spetember 18, the Dow was up 410, but chems were the 2nd worst performing sector, only...

The House rejected it Monday, but the Senate hasn't voted yet. The Senate votes tonight. The House scheduled a re-vote for Thursday, but I guess that has now been pushed back to Friday.

The last report I read on CNN simply said "this evening". Wonder what's going on? it's been modified, gather the senators and put it to a vote.

"It ain't the crime, it's the cover up". Most people probably wouldn't have cared very much that President Clinton was doing the interns in the White House. It was a widely known fact he was quite the horndog. But when he wagged his finger in our faces and said, "I did not have sexual...

Says she's scary in one sentence, says he knows nothing about her in the next. Even goes on to say he won't know anything about her in 8 weeks. shut it off after that.

The senate votes tommorrow on the revamped bill and it's expected to pass easily as not very many of them are up for re-election. Then the house should get it on Thursday. And if it is really true that constituents have flip-flopped, then the bill will pass there too. Wall Street gets our...

You give us too much credit. We don't even rise to the rank of worthless. Some of us are so dumb we can't even spell trailer.

Doesn't Biden have a history of sticking his foot in his mouth? He seems to find the worst possible thing to say at the worst possible time. Look forward to a gaffe or two from him. As long as Palin looks relaxed and smiles, she will be all right.

They apparently ~were~ listening to their constituents.

The google news aggregator sucks. It still hasn't picked up that this thing didn't pass. The top story on the regular news page still shows the stories before the vote, outcome looks uncertain. Google news looks buffoonic.

Maybe it isn't too early to celebrate. Even if they do eventually find a way to ram this down our throats, for at least a few minutes today there were some fat cats and politicians shitting their pants. They thought they had this in the bag.

The terms will be modified and it will be voted on again. Paulson wants to give this money to Wall Street. Bernanke wants to give this money to Wall Street. Bush wants to give this money to Wall Street. Wall Street wants this money. They will find a way to get it. It's much too early to be...

C'mon guys, I'm googling "voting procedure in the house" and all I'm finding is a bunch of paliamentary procedure for the UK. How do they get the vote started again?

He didn't fuck up his math, he just cut n pasted something that has been going around the internet for a few days now. He just didn't read it before he pasted it.

Boy, this is getting interesting. What terms are they going to modify to get this thing to pass? Are they going to have to go to the private sector for a bailout? How many more institutions can JP Morgan, B of A or Berkshire buy? I really can't think of any way they can get this bill to...

I'm surprised, I thought the votes were there to pass it. The article I just read said that when the Dems saw there was not going to be enough Repub votes, some of them switched as well in order to save their seats. That tells me that they are indeed listnening to their constituents on this one...

Hmm, the CIMDT doesn't seem to be in the office today.
