All 1990 pages of it.
Ladies and gentlemen... we have a new record!

I enjoyed the read. Took about 5 mins. Undederstood every word. Haven't changed my mind. Thank you.
I still think that picture of Nurse Pelosi is priceless.
Try to imagine if she and Hulk Hogan had a love child:
"Kids... eat your vegetables, say your prayers, take your vitamins and believe in yourself, and someday you too will be able to pick up and read mommy's health care plan"
She does look proud of herself.
What did wingnuts expect, a coloring book? Seriously, is that your new attack on healthcare reform? - "It's too complicated".
By the way, where is the Republican bill? I thought Boehner and his merry band of twinks promised to post an alternative to this bill for the CBO to score? C'mon, I wanted to see how tort reform and shopping accross state lines will save us so much money.
It's my understanding that the republicans have authored numerous bills and amendments that the dems wouldn't let out of committee.
Nazi Pelosi says House dem plan will add approximately 47 million people to government insurance, increase taxes on "millionaires” to pay for it, create jobs AND cut the budget deficit. You would think on the day that the AP of all people calls bullshit on the Obama administration jobs claim; this imbecile Pelosi would wait a day to rollout her plan that has less credibility than a SWAG estimate. No such luck from the demwits who claim lower taxes create deficits and spending has nothing to do with it.
Maybe in the demwith 1900 page healthcare bill will get more job creators like this:
"$300,000 FOR MAPPING RADIOACTIVE RABBIT FECES:
“A Week Mapping Radioactive Rabbit Feces With Detectors Mounted On A Helicopter Flying 50 Feet Over The Desert Scrub. … $300,000 In Federal Stimulus Money.”
Tom's really getting enamored of his shiny new epithet. <sigh> Guess it's time to bring "Retardicans."
. . . . sooooo cuh-rayzy . . .
The phrase "Nazi Pelosi" may have been a bit harsh. I mean a woman who meets in secret with committee chairmen, has the locks changed on committee doors to keep Republican out, and bars all Republicans or anyone not on her list with Capital Hill police from her healthcare party can't be compared with a demonic German political movement. I'll just say in that regard she's Nazi-lite in her pr controlling message effort.
"Stimulus creates 650,000 jobs
White House releases first broad look at stimulus-funded employment, focusing on $150 billion in spending."
bhwa, bhwa, bhwa.. oh' man. Trick or treat with that SWAG number? Good one. Let's all wait for the independent analysis that 'resets' that figure down to around 6,500 jobs.
The Obama Administration lacks imagination. They should claim the stimulus bill saved 130M jobs!!
The word 'Nazi' get used too much. We all know that. But it means different things to different people.
My aunt Rosie was a Nazi. She was 10 years old when Hitler came to power and to this day, he's still a hero to her. The autrocities were not Hitler's fault.
But my mom!! You'd better never call her a Nazi! She hates them and has the scars to prove it! And no, we're not Jewish. She simply refused to join the party.
When I said Newt Gingrich was a lying moronic goat****ing horse thief I may have been a bit harsh. Let's just say he's a lying moronic goat****ing horse thief -lite.
This was one of the more interesting and exciting paragraphs for my money:
“(a) Outpatient Hospitals – (1) In General – Section 1833(t)(3)(C)(iv) of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395(t)(3)(C)(iv)) is amended – (A) in the first sentence – (i) by inserting “(which is subject to the productivity adjustment described in subclause (II) of such section)” after “1886(b)(3)(B)(iii); and (ii) by inserting “(but not below 0)” after “reduced”; and (B) in the second sentence, by inserting “and which is subject, beginning with 2010 to the productivity adjustment described in section 1886(b)(3)(B)(iii)(II)”.

Tijuana, that is riveting stuff. Snnoooooooooore.
Really does tickle the intellect, don't it. :)
Words from a Republican RINO Peggy Noona who formerly was a not just a fan of Obama but the potential democrats could do from the 2008 election.
"We are governed at all levels by America's luckiest children, sons and daughters of the abundance, and they call themselves optimists but they're not optimists—they're unimaginative. They don't have faith, they've just never been foreclosed on. They are stupid and they are callous, and they don't mind it when people become disheartened. They don't even notice."
The Blue Dogs are asking from more details from the CBO.
Chicken, listen to BEEF: 1990 pages translates to f###ing expensive in my book.
Only a moron would translate that as "it's just too complicated to understand."
Like always.... Insult first, think second. That's the liberal way.
(unless of course they're short on time, then they just skip step 2 and repeat step 1)
Dow 9,708.5 -254.08 (-2.55%)
Dow Industrials down 254 points; how can this be? Obama said he has 'saved/created' 650k jobs, has a healthcare plan that will cover us all AND cut the deficit, plus the economy grew by 3.5% in Q3. Some with less faith in Obama are calling bullshit I guess.
So, a strong dollar hurts the DJIA. Lower oil prices hurt the DJIA. Lower gold prices hurt the DJIA. In short, lots of stuff that is very good for the typical American (or things that indicate a stronger American economy) are bad for the DJIA.The DJIA is useless as a reactive metric. As I noted in last week's open thread:
You'll excuse me if I don't pay a great deal of attention to daily dips or spikes.
Given the shrinking dollar... is 10,000 really the same as it used to be?
"I refer the right honorable gentleman to the opening comments of this thread."
How is cynicism at "normal" persons ability to read one thousand nine hundred and ninety pages of encryption, understand it and have it change their mind equivalent to "criticism without thinking?"
Uh wes, here is a hint on how to answer that. DON'T, it is intended to be rhetorical. No response needed because there is no equivalence.
Tijuana, I was referring to "Nurse Pelosi" and "Nazi Pelosi," not your first comment specifically.
However, either of us can provide many, many counterexamples, yes?
10-4 wes, scool.
Tom, Peggy Noone is a sentimental Retardican apparatchik (read: hack) who hasn't made a lot of sense since her former boss Reagan went to the Big Round Up In The Sky. Nevertheless, there's quite a bit in that particular column with which I'd have to agree. There's a real desperation gathering.
I'm surprised that blrag has seemingly passed on the Halloween theme. Or will that be tomorrow?? :) BOO!
Wes;
Your lack of a clue sometimes is remarkable. I KNOW the Dow at times can go up or down irrespective of what Obama does. The point I was making is the sophomoric attempt by the WH to portray the stimulus as this job producing/saving machine that's set the foundation for a sustained recovery as evidenced by the Q3 GDP of 3.5% was more than likely today given a big wet bitch slap by the market.
Speaking of "sophomoric attempts"...let's review, shall we?

By comparison, here are your comments on other noteworthy (I guess) DJIA events:
Yeah, those are all the clues we need. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.
Senator Hatch: Giving Americans what they want is “diabolical.”
CMIU, folks.
Not in a million years could I make that up.
Tom, in case you missed it: you've just been pwned.
Nice work, Wes.
True dat.
