At least one Democrat is up for the commination of Eric Witholder.

Washerwoman couldn’t get the signatures to get on the ballot, but apparently paid a fee to get on it. Weird. You can buy your way on to a ballot in FL?

Cool. Looks like, with a few exceptions, a party line vote. Hope something happens to get the Dems to vote contempt. This is an appalling situation.

That BHO will have a surly reaction to an unfavorable ruling from SCOTUS tomorrow is a commination lock…

His childish reaction to the AZ ruling will have consequences. Another bad reaction from him and he is toast. NOvember cannot come soon enough. A+++

The NRA is watching this vote so there could be as many D’s to flip. I’ll be watching for the jailbreak. Key House Dems to watch include: Critz, Altmire, Boren, and Rayhall among others.

Altmire is a lame duck, so not sure what would drive his vote.

You say “aesthetics” like you’re a connoisseur. Or connoisseuse, I guess.

Boren is a lame duck too but the funny thing about these guys is they often launch comebacks, either congressional or other.

I wonder if Obama has begun to feel
Nixon’s corrupt breath on his neck-
The possible commination of Holder
Should be quite a reality check

Perhaps Michelle Antoinette should
Forget about food for awhile
And pack her ugly, costly clothes
That have never been in style

I want to see them back at home
Living that same Chicago life
Just like before, but with no more
Than any other mob boss and his wife...

Jay the Carney’s daily blab is becoming a commination of stupid and condescending...

“You can’t do the snip.”

Why not just leave the decision to the parents, and leave it at that? Parents might not think the same as the parents next door, but so what? Some women prefer clipped, some unclipped, as well-it is just a preference, like piercings, tats, etc.

The nurses freaked out when my daughter was born and I handed them a pair of little gold studs and asked them to pierce her ears-they refused and told me it was “barbaric” (my ears were pierced at birth, as per hispanic custom). Fortunately, one of my aunts who lived close had given birth to her 5th girl the day before, so she came over and we pierced both our baby girls’ ears.

well that’s the obvious answer in a free country. Ridiculous that Germany feels they need to weigh in on this.

They put the total in totalitarian statism. Kind of like Mayor Doomberg.

No matter how long or how hard they try, Germany just can’t seem to get the goose step out of their march, or the “heil” out of their salute...

You weren’t asking the nurses to do the actual piercing, right?
