I'm starting to feel like I'm in line at WalMart. The only difference is that the people at WalMart can argue slightly faster with less brown-nosing.
Is it just me, or do several members visibly age during some of Hochberg's ramblings? I'm pretty sure that clerk was a small child in the gallery when they convened.

Yeah...I cant believe I absorbed an entire day of that. And didnt even get to hear our baby get voted into law (yet).
Hopefully when I get home there will be a better post here! (or at least know we have to wait until tomorrow)

As the old saying goes, "Laws are like sausages--you don't want to see how they're made."
There is a reason I'm listening from home instead of sitting in the House gallery at the Capitol.
The committee meetings are bad enough, but sitting through a whole day of floor debate might have melted my brain.
At least at home I can mute the computer when they start recognize birthdays and wedding anniversaries or honoring little league teams.

All I know is I just wasted 6 hours listening to pure stupidity and incompetence at its finest.
edit: as in, way to much baloney to wade through to get anything done, nothing personal if any reps or senators are reading this lol.
