All I found was this: The House has voted 54 times in four years on Obamacare. With some of the bills having passed through the Senate and signed by the President. So there's probably not a whole lot of Obamacare bills sitting on Reid's desk.

Accused of stealing a back pack, a teenager spends 3 years in jail before his case is dismissed. And various sources claim that he spent over 400 days in solitary confinement.

Also people vote more on what's happened more recently. Wait until we're into our next President's term and I bet President Obama's popularity will start climbing.

Re: Big Day For Int'l News; Ground Offensive Begins In Gaza.

And because the poor Israelis need a hand out, we're giving them $225 million to buy more missiles for their missile defense system.

Re: Another Tea Partier Goes Down...

And from the "you can't make this stuff up" file, we have Oklahoma Republican Timothy Ray Murray (human) who plans to contest a recent primary election on the basis that his Republican opponent, Frank Lucas, was executed three years ago and has since been replaced by a body double or a robot.

Re: The United Police States of America

How many times a day do you figure that cops enter a private residence for whatever reason, and there's a non-threatening dog on the premises, and the dog doesn't get shot? Hundreds? Thousands? I'd argue that the problem with animals is that they're far more likely to be put down if things do go wr...

Police generally don't have a good record with interacting with dogs. Here is another article about a man in Salt Lake City, Utah who wants a police officer fired for killing his dog.

Re: Cantor gets Brat-wursted

On the one hand, the soon the Tea Party falls apart, the better.

But on the other hand, watching the Republican Party beating itself up is pure entertainment.

Re: Now more than ever, buy the candidate of your choice!

Baloney. The ability to spend money on a cause or candidate is so closely related to the ability to speak publicly that no restrictions should be permitted. Being able to drown out other peoples' voices by dumping more of your money than anybody else is not free speech. The more money people have, ...

Re: Japanese knotweed, it's a problem

Black Country coroner Robin Balmain said it appeared Dr McRae had suffered from paranoia over the knotweed, which was not found on their property, although a patch of the invasive plant had been discovered nearby. That reads like the ending of a horror story. I bet Stephen King could knock out a sh...

Re: Strange Plane Disappearance...

It took about two years to find the black box for Air France Flight 447 and that was with having found some of the wreckage so they had some idea of where to look.

It's just strange that we haven't found a single thing so far with MH370.

Re: And New Mexico makes 18

For the US maybe, but other countries are pretty much going in the exact opposite direction at full speed. The Ugandan Parliament has just passed a bill making being gay punishable by execution or life imprisonment. All that it needs now is their President's signature to become a law.

Maybe not undo the whole thing, but they do need to be reined in quite a bit.
