  - nothing wrong with either. -- nm - colin Oct 15, 14:03
House will vote tonight -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 13:44 27
- Whether to have creamed corn or cream spinach -- nm - amoxy Oct 15, 14:01
- I appreciate your posts about this - con_carne Oct 15, 13:54 3
  - I fear most of ST is bored to death by it so I have tried to parse just the interesting twists and turns. - ty97 Oct 15, 13:55 2
    - I feel the same way. also, I think it's kind of over... something. I think many things are exaggerated in some media outlets, so I like that you - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 15, 13:55 1
      - Twitter has been my life blood in this. CNN and that ilk have been mundanely stupid and worthless - ty97 Oct 15, 13:57
- Let's place the odds of passing at 50/50. Would you take the over or under, ST? -- nm - David Oct 15, 13:50 20
  - won't pass. -- nm - Remlik Oct 15, 14:00
  - I'm taking the under. -- nm - David Oct 15, 13:59
  - Passes, the House -- DOA in the Senate. - Will Hunting Oct 15, 13:52
  - (it totally passes the House0 -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 13:51
  - Passing the House, or passing the Senate and getting signed? -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 13:51 15
    - [deleted] 14
      - If it passes the House, the Senate has to pass it and Obama has to sign it. - ty97 Oct 15, 13:53 13

        Right now, the public blames Congressional GOP for this mess (at least more than they blame anyone else) - ty97 Oct 15, 13:56 11
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        Probably not, but this is basically the last ouvre before default. It defined the talking points for when people WILL all pay attention if we default -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 14:02
        
        The House has already passed a bunch of bills the Senate isn't touching. This would be the same. -- nm - Max Oct 15, 13:58 5
        
        Right. I think it depends on the content of the bill. If the public views it as reasonable, opinion may start to shift. Otherwise it's more - pmb Oct 15, 14:00 1
        
        My understanding is that it's basically short term CR, short term debt limit, Vitter amdnt. That's it. - ty97 Oct 15, 14:03
        
        But we are near deadline and there's high focus. Killing it by not touching it is the same as voting it down. 'The Dems did it' -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 13:59 2
        
        So then, if we go over the debt cliff, it's "the Dem's fault" -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 14:00 1
        
        (mind you, I'm not saying it is: I'm saying how it plays easily to the sheeple. The GOP is very good at manipulating lazy minded public opinion) -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 14:01
        
        this is a great point, but I think the o admin could spin rejecting a bill that was BS. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 15, 13:56 2
        
        I think they can try, and it may protect some damage, but not sure how much (definitely not all) - ty97 Oct 15, 13:58 1
        
        Passing it also sends a message that they Dems aren't the predictable pushovers the GOP hopes for. - ty97 Oct 15, 13:59
- "Let's hurry this up; Brooklyn Nine-Nine starts in a half hour." -- nm - Max Oct 15, 13:47
It sounds like latest deal is basically CR to 12/15, debt limit to (? still feb?), Full Vitter. - ty97 Oct 15, 13:38 5
- *quietly passes a bill to increase pay of congressional staffers to make up for having to pay for their own health insurance* -- nm - Congress, in 2 weeks Oct 15, 13:47 1

@frankthorpNBC Change in CR date (from Jan 15 to Dec 15) gives GOP another chance to fight indiv. mandate b4 it goes into effect on Jan 1 -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 13:19 5
- If the enrollment system still has major issues at that point then a delay may even be warranted -- nm - TWuG Oct 15, 13:27 3
  - I don't know. There's really still plenty of time left to deal with it. There's not an impending deadline. -- nm - pmb Oct 15, 13:36 2
    - For people to enroll? There is a deadline. -- nm - TWuG Oct 15, 13:53 1
      - Sorry, I thought this was in response to Qale's comments about struggling to get it done. There's still plenty of time from now. But even by 12/15 - pmb Oct 15, 13:58

reminder. PBS has a 3 hour show on comics tonight...and if you are on extension, your 2012 taxes are due today [despite the government shutdown] -- nm - peglegpete Oct 15, 13:17 1
- Heh, and I'm already trying to estimate my 2013 taxes. Trying to figure if it's worth paying both installments of my property taxes. - Meg Oct 15, 13:32

- What percent chance does Boehner have of retaining the House Speaker position after the next election? - Dano Oct 15, 13:12 13
  - If the GOP holds the House, it's either 100% or 0% depending on if he wants the job. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 15, 13:21 1
    - Schrodinger's Speaker -- nm - Qale Oct 15, 13:25
  - I think it depends entirely on whether the Tea Party voters in his caucus are satisfied that he fought hard enough for them. - Max Oct 15, 13:21
  - probably around the same odds as the GOP keeping the house. -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 13:17 2
    - So 99%? -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 13:18

  - Let's get him out of this week and go from there. -- nm - David Oct 15, 13:16 3
    - (The wounds are self-inflicted but I feel empathy for him today.) - David Oct 15, 13:17 2
      - I don't. Had there ever been a moment in this process where he put the country before his own self-interest and ambition I might have. - Diva Oct 15, 13:23 1
        
        That's why I said empathize rather than sympathize. - David Oct 15, 13:26
  - If they loose quite a bit of seats in the election - eag Oct 15, 13:15 1

- bars and restaurants don't have any choice here. no smoking in any of them. -- nm - zork Oct 15, 13:40 3
  - here, if less than 10% of your revenue comes from food, you can apply to be smoking (I think it costs $100). but even bars like the brewery just went - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 15, 13:52 2
    - I hate going to the in-laws because our clothes, coats, hair, etc. all stink of smoke afterward - zork Oct 15, 14:09
    - Our country has this (but it's 5%). The next county over (5 minutes from my house) doesn't have it. I hate having to think about it. - spamlet Oct 15, 13:58
- nobody really cares, but I *hate* when I walk into work in the morning and the smokers are in front of the door. seriously, guys? at 8:30 a.m.? -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 15, 13:09 2
  - how do you expect them to function for the new few hours without it? -- nm - groiny Oct 15, 13:12
  - [deleted]
- We can't go to our favorite sports bar any more due to smokers. - David Oct 15, 13:06 2
  - well, where else are they supposed to go if they got kicked out of everywhere else? :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 13:08 1
    - I am frustrated because it is the second closest restaurant to us, has great relationship memories, great TVs and...we can't go. -- nm - David Oct 15, 13:10
- I just realized I have been doing a passive/aggressive thing regarding smoking - amoxy Oct 15, 13:03 2

    - Boiling oil. -- nm - Qale Oct 15, 13:14

  - did you get to the Football HOF? -- nm - peglegpete Oct 15, 12:56 1
    - Nope. Wanted to though. On days when I wasn't working I flew back to NYC for auditions or spent spare time preparing for them. -- nm - Diva Oct 15, 12:59
- we have two bars that still allow smoking. it's like people think that just because they're there, they *have* to smoke. everyone chain smokes. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 15, 12:46 7
  - I wouldn't go there unless I was smoking -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 13:04
  - on the other hand, we can now say we've been to the sh!ttiest diviest bar in town. So there's that. -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 12:56 1
    - (probably. there's two other candidates on the list we haven't been to, but neither of them allow smoking any more) -- nm - znufrii Oct 15, 13:00
  - As a smoker there are just some things that go hand in hand... - Stephen Oct 15, 12:48 2
