    The North and South navies clash all the time. It's like a hobby for them. Even when I was over there in 98-99 the South sank a bunch of Northern torpedo ships and nothing happened.

    After doing a grand total of 2 minutes of research (on wikipedia of course), I can't say I disagree with the overall aims of the teabaggers. Balanced budget? smaller government? less tax? Seems good to me.

    So it seems like a shame that they draw all the racists, douchebags, and nutjobs to their cause. They act like Bush was the picture of fiscal conservatism before Obama came to power.

    Or am I getting it all wrong

    In order to convince some holdouts in th House of Representatives to vote for the bill that passed in the Senate back in December (their only hope of passing some kind of bill after Brown got elected to the Senate), Senate Democrats promised that they would immediately pass a few tweaks to the law after the House passed the bill.

    They did this through a process called "budget reconciliation," which can be used only in some situations, but cannot be filibustered, so the Democrats in the Senate only needed 51 votes, rather than the 60 required to overcome a filibuster.

    So, the House passed this bill full of "fixes" for the healthcare law, and sent it to the Senate. Hoping to delay the process as much as possible, Senate Republicans successfully added a few provisions to the fixes bill. Because a bill cannot become law unless it's passed in identical forms by both houses of Congress, this new bill had to be sent back to the House, where it passed.

    I really need to get out of the south.

    Yesterday I was at the stoplight behind a pickup that had three stickers on it, one was the generic marine corps sticker that if as many people in this town that had that sticker were real vets the VFW post wouldn't be a broken-down shack, and then it had a "Obama lied, the economy died" sticker, right above a sticker with Bush on the aircraft carrier with the words "Miss me yet?"

    That's awesome. I see a lot of confederate flags, or my least favorite is the state of Florida with a cowboy hat on the panhandle and the word "cracker" written down the length.

    The Mexicans here have the best stuff though. I've seen trucks with murals depicting Jesus floating by the twin towers, with their family glowing in the corner.
