T-Minus 78 Hours and Counting...

A little NASA lexicon for ya on the ole First, er, just "100 Hours. Seems HRH Pelosi has a cool clock on her website. Go here and we can all watch the hands of time. Well, okay, not really the hands cause it's a digital clock. However there is a checklist, with check marks and everything! Wow!

So I am perusing the list of goals and it passes through my carnivore brain the House may pass these worthy things but we still need to have the Senate take similar action and then they meet in committee and then it goes to the President for signing. Otherwise, this is all .... what?, let' see....pomp without circumstance? Be that as it may, let's breeze on over to the Senate and see if Harry Reid has the minions whipped into shape during their 100 Hours or whatever they call it. Certainly with a (50 + 1 Coma Vote) - 49 majority the place is humming like a well oiled machine.

Well the first thing you notice is there is no clock for the Senate. My guess is being dignified statesman they know that good law works at it's own pace. So what have they voted on...let's go to the headlines... "Democrats fumble earmarks legislation" Hmmm, as the kid in graphics says What's up with that?

Senators jump ship, vote with GOP on tougher rules for pet projects in bills. The Senate's new Democratic leaders, the fragility of their thin majority on display for the first time, were set back Thursday when nine Democrats joined with Republicans in support of stricter House-passed rules on lawmakers' pet projects
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., was forced to delay a final vote on a measure he opposes after losing 51-46 a parliamentary attempt to kill it.

Seems to be a bit of discord in the ole Senate. No mention on when they will get to HRH Pelosi's list of deeds. Maybe she could loan them her clock when she's through with it. Until then it appears we will have pomp without circumstance. Order up!
