What? There's a mark-up hearing going on right now? Didn't they stay there until midnight last night doing this? The answer is yes to all of those questions.

With 560+ amendments to pass, the Senate Finance Committee ambles their way through them. Votes on a handful of amendments have been recorded, with votes going down party lines, except for Senator Snowe breaking ranks once with an amendment offered by Senator Hatch.

Betcha didn't know that Glenn Beck was a member of "Kids in the Hall" years ago. (snark) You have got to watch the You Tube of it..you will be amazed at how IT IS GLENN BECK to a tee. I know this is not the kind of diary that will please some Kossacks because it isn't as informational as it should be, but heck, every now and then we just find something that makes us laugh but also is a Jon Stewart type of comedy truth that simplifies and cuts through the BS of politics. ENJOY.

While i was tossing and turning last night, for some reason i had a breakthrough in what i would do if I had to make a call on whether to compromise out the public option and also my promises to a lot of voters who wanted "Change" or settle for less just to get something done.

Here it is:

ObamaGrandma posted a diary the other day about a nasty email on healthcare that was been spread by the right-wingers and it was full of lies and half-truths. Here's the link: http://www.dailykos.com/... Go read it.

ObamaGrandma took the time to debunk every lie in the email. I hadn't gotten the nasty email but i decided to save her diary just in case.

I am starting the liveblogging of the EC Committee markup of the Health Care Bill. Rep. Weiner has introduced an amendment forcing the Repugs on the committee to vote that they don't support Medicare (a govt. run plan). Of course they won't vote for it, but Rep. Weiner wants them to put up or shut up about govt. run insurance. By the way, today is the 44th anniversary of the start of Medicare.

I am sitting here listening to Senator Bunning trying to filibuster Kathleen Sebelius. It is disgusting. He is saying that she supports that dreaded "freedom of choice" position. Also she doesn't have the experience to lead the HHS (even though she ran an entire state).

This is news being reported by MSNBC today:

The Senate was set to approve President Barack Obama's nominee for health and human services secretary Tuesday, giving the agency a leader in the midst of the swine flu outbreak.

Morning debate and an afternoon vote were scheduled to confirm Kathleen Sebelius, the two-term Democratic governor of Kansas. She was expected to get the 60 votes needed in the Democratic-led Senate, though perhaps with little margin to spare.

I work with teenagers and fellow co-worker is telling students that the new community service program that President Obama is going to develop is not going to let them attend church if they sign up. This is pure and simple fearmongering. I know he is reading stuff like this from the freepers:

The Bill would forbid any student in the brigade to participate in "engaging in religious instruction, conducting worship services, providing instruction as part of a program that includes mandatory religious instruction or worship, constructing or operating facilities devoted to religious instruction or worship, maintaining facilities primarily or inherently devoted to religious instruction or worship, or engaging in any form of religious proselytization." That means no church attendance or witnessing.

Just a quick diary. AP is reporting that Al Franken's campaign has a right to see the data on the voters whose absentee ballots were rejected. The Judge says that Franken is being "harmed" every hour that he is not allowed to use the information for his campaign.

Wow that was fast! That's what i love about this campaign. Obama has velvet gloves and a steel fist. What i can't figure out is why on earth Cheney made an appearance yesterday to come out of hiding and endorse John McCain. Probably to return the favor of John McCain publicly criticizing George Bush this past week.

I watched the Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner last night on an interview with Fox and she is slaying the right wing organizations left and right. Even the Heritage Foundation (wacko conservative think tank) is trying to take her on, saying there are voting "irregularities". We need to contribute to Jennifer Brunner's campaign. She's doing a great job fighting for one/person one/vote. She's running against Greg Hart-R and it he is trying to smear her just like every Republican does these days. Here's a link to her campaign PAC:

If you just want to give her a pat on the back, i'm sure she would appreciate that too.
