This post makes as much sense the House worrying about the BCS. -- nm - adventy97 Dec 9, 21:01

I so hate this argument. Governments are usually dealing with dozens of issues at any one time. -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 20:55 4
- Which is attested to in the article itself. But still ... football? - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:57
- It's not a good argument unless you are talking about them passing a bill about FOOTBALL! What's next a bill to make the Academy Awards more fair? -- nm - Redmond Dec 9, 20:57 2
  - The BCS is a monopoly on big money bowls. It is literally tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars. - musubi Dec 9, 21:23
  - It would be a stupid bill even if it was literally the only thing on their plate. -- nm - TFox Dec 9, 20:58
I don't think there's still a shortage of vaccine. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 20:54 2
- In BC, millions of dollars of vaccine might go unused (demand has dropped off) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:55 1
  - H1N1 has been going around so long, a lot of people no longer need the vaccine. it came out about a month too late. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 20:58
I guess you didn't read the article. -- nm - nubby Dec 9, 20:49 4
- Nope! I am too busy trying to find the address for Mara's Secret Garden -- nm - Redmond Dec 9, 20:50 3
  - Is Redmond synonymous with restraining order in your area? -- nm - David Dec 9, 20:57 2
    - I will just hire a good attorney and explain that everyone here participates in a "Secret Stalker" and I simply misunderstood the intent. -- nm - Redmond Dec 9, 21:00
    - well, it's synonymous with Antitrust .. that's close, right? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 20:58
