There hasn’t been open transparency on this process? We haven’t watched this bullshit for 10 months dragging on? The time for good ideas from the Party of No is over–they haven’t had one yet. I’ll go with the odds and assume that after ten months of bargaining in very bad faith, they aren’t about to change their ways now.
What part of this do you have a beef with–the fact that the Dems have finally wised up and realized that since both Chambers have passed a bill, it’s time to shut the opposition out and sit down and get this fucker hammered into a final bill, get it passed, and get it done.
Middle and LB, that is. Since you both were asking yesterday my wife gave birth to a completely healthy 7 lb 11 oz baby girl. We couldn’t have asked for more.
I have been disconnected from the news, Pols, etc for the past few days with the baby, no sleep, and trying to keep up at work as well.
It’s so funny to see the 254 comments about the Ritter/Salazar thing. Holy crap, am I out of the loop ! The shit has really hit the fan.
Anyway, take care !
because you needed to devote time to your family?!
Congratulations! 🙂
Let’s get to the truth behind Fidel’s Dirt Nap Gate! Seriously, as a grandfather, I welcome you to the fatherhood game. You life will never be the same. But while blogging has its attractions, bloggers can’t give you butterly kisses!
you need to hang out with different bloggers.
Good numbers, too.
Politics will wait. Enjoy your daughter.
Oh fantastic–congratulations to you, Fidel. And best wishes to your wife and your new little lassie.
You will never know what’s going on, you will never be able to help, it’s all your fault – and yet they are the best 🙂
From BusinessWeek, Jan. 4, we read about the New Democrats, a group of House members dedicated to the proposition that all financial reform shall be watered down. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/34…
Excerpt:
No mention of certain corresponding members of the Senate, but the story did bring to mind talk about a “bipartisan” solution to financial reform lest “unintended consequences” be brought about by a reform bill drafted by the now-retiring Chris Dodd.
Gotta wonder whether financial report might be the big loser with Dodd’s exit.

Though Dodd proposed some tough regulation this summer that I supported, in the past he has not been considered a proponent of tough banking/insurance/finance regulation.
I join you in your concern about weak financial regulation and I am discomforted by any legislator who speaks in moderate tones on this issue.
The American people, right and left, are outraged by what the financial industry has done to this country and to its taxpayers. Legislators should be treating this seriously not as an area for a little bit of tweeking.
Dodd as the torch-bearer for financial reform? What’s JO smoking?
Whatever it was that Dodd was proposing, your Mr. Bennet–you are a member of his Technicolor Fan Club on this site, aren’t you?–felt the need to react to it by calling for caution, lest it result in “unintended consequences” and at the same to time to call for “bipartisan” support for whatever new regulations were enacted. Sounds like the sort of reform that “bipartisan” health care reform would have yielded, i.e. none.
Nope. You don’t pay very close attention, do you?
But I think it’s a good idea to question Dodd’s reform proposals. He’s never been known as a serious financial reformer.
I only know what I read today.

These rating agency suits are something I have been pushing for a long time.
Of all the groups that have not been woodsheded they are the most culpable.
Anyone who can identify them as a causal actor and is willing to take them on has my support.
Lets say you type in a search for Scott McInnis Questions – a pretty standard query. Well #1 is a piece by Ben DeGrow (one of the state’s more thoughtful conservatives) & #3 is my letter to him.
Needless to say, an undecided voter who uses this query is unlikely to vote for McInnis. (Note to Scott – if you answer the questions I’m happy to update my post.)
But it’s an interesting example of how Google’s weighting formula works.
One factor that is (allegedly) weighted very highly for Google placement is how many other pages link to a given page. By linking to your article in your sig line, you have pumped your own page’s placement up very high.
