Too bad. Aeryn Send a noteboard - 10/02/2011 01:26:26 AM
I think that qualifies as a bit of non story anyways. They tried to pass it with a method that requires a 2/3 majority but failed by 7 votes. They will hold a regular vote on it soon and it will pass fine. I have no idea what chance it will have to get through the senate but with all the red state democrats make a run for the center they should be able to pass it.


I'd noted that as the one good thing to have come out of the Tea Party movement.

That's hardly a surprise considering the site is running from EUROPEAN SOIL!1!! *NM* ironclad - 10/02/2011 08:14:10 PM 132 Views
I think there is just a general lack of people talking about pretty much anything anymore *NM* random thoughts - 09/02/2011 04:25:35 PM 130 Views
For me, it's an increasing lack of time as the economy picks up. Tom - 09/02/2011 04:46:08 PM 410 Views

It's still discussed, too much almost. Stephen - 09/02/2011 05:59:56 PM 397 Views
Note: I see the irony of my reply. Sorry. Stephen - 09/02/2011 06:41:38 PM 516 Views
I don't see the irony. Aeryn - 10/02/2011 01:25:41 AM 374 Views
It just seemed that way to me, sorry Stephen - 10/02/2011 07:58:05 PM 323 Views

Hey, when was the last time ireland got into a war that wasn't with ourselves? Stephen - 09/02/2011 07:18:20 PM 301 Views
I'm fairly sure the "European" comment was because two of her three topics were American ones. Legolas - 09/02/2011 07:38:44 PM 361 Views
Were I you, I would post about the election, yes. Joel - 09/02/2011 08:59:48 PM 360 Views
My personal strategy is posting what I find interesting, whether it gets replies or not. Legolas - 09/02/2011 09:09:13 PM 351 Views
This of course begs the question... *NM* Sareitha Sedai - 09/02/2011 06:03:20 PM 143 Views

Sometimes, yes. Other issues, typically theological ones, I can't stomach remaining silent. *NM* Zalis - 09/02/2011 09:27:55 PM 227 Views
So basically we're sick & tired of each other. THAT is a true death knell for the community. *NM* Aeryn - 10/02/2011 01:23:29 AM 139 Views
