They don't have TV in that bubble you live in? There were plenty of
politicians complaining about pork in H.R.1, including Boehner.

Bull****.


You must not actually watch the news.

Here is the NPR article, someone you might believe. Read what Ryan,
Coburn and Mc Cain say.

Bloomberg even pilloried H.R.1 and his city was hit the hardest.

Whoa!!! YOU said that BOEHNER said such.....

They don't have to listen to every phone call since they have a wealth
of information on which calls might be of interest. Speech
recognition software has gotten so powerful that all they have to do
is run computerized spot checks for key words and keep close tabs on
suspects.

be in the majority of households.

Perhaps he wants a new book, not something he has already read or
something he has no interest in. I know the e-reader people I know
complain the library E book selection is limited and the "good" books

the best sellers, they really want you to buy it



I'm not a fan of ebooks, but my wife is. She downloads a couple a week
from our local public library, and also downloads "freebies" via her
Amazon "prime" account. But she still visits the library to borrow
traditional books, too. So do I.

It seems like all of the "hot books are fiction and I don't read that
anymore. Real life is unbelievably interesting enough for me.

As some may have guessed I am a Thomas junkie, actually reading the
bills few of our representatives and none of the media ever read.

I found this gem in the first "Sandy bill" (H.R.1)

"For an additional amount for `Procurement of Ammunition, Army',
$1,310,000, to remain available until September 30, 2015, for
necessary expenses related to the consequences of Hurricane Sandy:"

Huh? Why does the Army need a million three of extra ammunition "for
necessary expenses related to the consequences of Hurricane Sandy:"?

How many of the survivors do they think they will need to shoot?

It is that **** that makes Boehner look correct in not taking the bill
seriously.

The cost of purchasing ammo and who is purchasing it is interesting.
However, when you get down to the brass tacks of per officer amounts it
really is negligible.

---------------------

But why is it in an unrelated to the army bill? There were 3 major items
that really screwed up our spending. 2 can be fixed. 1st is Base Line
Budgeting. 2nd and may be actually 1st, is the rule change when Nixon was
avoiding Impeachment, to allow amendments unrelated to a bill to be attached
to a bill. Why you can have an amendment for spending $500 million on a
museum attached to a transportation bill. (just an example. do not know of
that high of an amount for a museum being attached). 3rd was the ruling by
the Supremes that the POTUS had to spend any money allocated. Old days, the
Executive branch just did not spend some of the frivolous money allocated.
Still think it is a bad ruling and encroaches on separation of powers
between the branches.

Maybe we could use the Home Depot card, which is free, as a voter ID
card?

If it has your picture on it, you can in Florida. I have used my Sam's
card before

Bull****! From:
http://election.dos.state.fl.us/gen-faq.shtml#link1



What kind of identification do I need to bring to the polls?
When you go to the polling place to vote, you will be asked to provide a
current and valid picture identification with a signature. Approved
forms of picture identification a Florida driver's license; Florida
identification card issued by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor
Vehicles; United States passport; debit or credit card; military
identification; student identification; retirement center
identification; neighborhood association identification; and public
assistance identification. (Section 101.043, F.S.) If the picture
identification does not contain a signature, you will be asked to
provide an additional identification with your signature.


----------------------

Why is it BS? from your statement " debit or credit card "!

You are starting to sound like Ron Paul!!

They will have a profile on people they suspect of bring stolen

I know Home Depot uses their surveillance for all sorts of things
My wife has a commercial account there and they have asked her all
sorts of things about her shopping patterns in a survey. It is clear
they were watching her, tracking her path through the store.. She was
in a scuffle in the parking lot and the next time she walked into the
store the manager was on her in about a minute, asking if she was OK.
That sounds like facial recognition to me. The casinos have been doing
it for years.

Yeah... sure.... That's odd, I've been going to the same Home Depot for
17 years. Several of my associates have commercial accounts. The only
difference when we go there between they and I is that they have the
luxury of 30 net.

And they may not buy that much.

Can stuff be downloaded to a kindle from the e-book groups?

Yes, indirectly, through your computer and a USB cable, or uploaded to
Amazon for a small fee.

Here are some links you might find useful:

Thanks, Wayne. Good to know in case the library runs out of e-books.

Um, how does a library "run out of e-books"???

They only have so many licenses for a book. You check out E-books just
like regular books as far as the copyright holder is concerned..

But they don't run out. Someone returns, another gets it. Just like a
real book.


---------------------

They ran out. Just like real books at the library. You get on a wait list.
