Anyway, the last time the House was called back early like this, it involved emergency legislation to deal with Hurricane Katrina. So what's so important this time around? Apparently, it's The ______Act of____.

Yes, The ______Act of____.

It appears that our friendly Senators were in such a rush to get this bill through that they forgot to name it.

Dear Lord - does anyone know what this bill is for?

Maybe they didn’t really forget to name it.

Hopefully it’s just my shattered nerves speaking, but I’m a bit concerned about what they’re up to. Amnesty? Well, we’ll see, won’t we...

The Heritage Foundation had a little “contest” on FB giving folks a chance to name the bill themselves. We should do that on FR. I’m sure there would be some doozies!

Oh, it’s nothing. Spending Bill of 26 Billion.

“In case you were wondering, this is the bill that the Congressmen have decided to tack their $26 billion dollar public sector union bailout on to. “

Yes, they passed Obamacare before it was even written and regularly pass legislation they will never read “because it’s two thousand pages all in legalese” yet they will deny certain passages (much as the jihadist apologists insist that the Koran does not really say those things it says).

I just saw Andrea Mitchell on TV saying it is a 26 million dollar spending bill.

I have passed my own bill. It is the I hate the Democrats (progressively communist) bill.

It has passed with 100% approval of every ounce of my body and mind. They are despicable.

they don’t name it...

they don’t read it...

all this implies, they didn’t write it.

they are now rubber stamping bills from special interest groups (apollo, seiu, etc... ie: soros)

Much like the altar Paul came across in Athens dedicated to “An Unknown God.” They were just covering all the bases.

If you google “The XXXXXX act of XXXX”, you can find it, and the FIVE other iterations of it.
