Seats on one side of the Indiana House were nearly empty today as House Democrats departed the the state rather than vote on anti-union legislation.A source tells the Indianapolis Star that Democrats are headed to Illinois, though it was possible some also might go to Kentucky. They need to go to a state with a Democratic governor to avoid being taken into police custody and returned to Indiana.The House came into session twice this morning, with only three of the 40 Democrats present. Those were needed to make a motion, and a seconding motion, for any procedural steps Democrats would want to take to ensure Republicans don’t do anything official without quorum.With only 58 legislators present, there was no quorum present to do business. The House needs 67 of its members to be present.

I thought the Repukes were down on that as well: caribou Barbie has definitely changed her website (and her tune) and backtracked something rotten over that, hasn't she? She's retreating, not reloading now, it seems...

Status: offline 		A shooting is a shooting wether dems approve or not, she was shot , the verb is shoot...
12 people were shot six people were killed,
so maybe "Its better than killing people" is not nasty rhetoric???

12 people hurt and six fatally is less nasty?
Shot and killed is the truth, its not rhetoric

Then Ohio. Tough as Walker has been, Kasich is at least his match.
Going to be an interesting political season... culminating in the budget battle. These are just the opening skirmishes.

Bye Bye Mitch

I await your doing something about it.

Although it may exist someplace, I haven't seen how many vacation days a Pres can have.  Sometimes I think some of them spent their entire term on vacation.
