I just saw on twitter that Patty Murray is trending. I checked things out and Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) has been tapped as co-chairwoman for the Catfood Comission V2.

From the Seattle PI

"More significant to me is who (Reid) didn't pick," said Keith Hennessey, a longtime former Senate GOP aide, citing Reid's snub of Conrad, who's also part of a bipartisan Senate "Gang of Six" on the budget. "He didn't pick someone who might have been bipartisan." Hennessey is now a research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University.

Bipartisan? Did he really mention bipartisanship? Seriously? A Republican thinking their side will ever actually work with the Dems?

As a child I grew up in a very small town in the middle of Kansas. As soon as I could I fled the small town and never looked back. I have always said, "Kansas is a great place to be from." 95% of my family have moved from Kansas to Colorado so I never go back.

Recently a friend introduced me to Iz and Iz has made me miss Kansas. Below for some more information.

I have helped start a medical practice and so I understand the game. The insurance companies will, most likely, not give you a ballpark estimate on the cost for something. There are a LOT of variables for each procedures. Often the phone calls are being recorded, so they don’t want to give out specific information unless it is ironclad.

I started writing a comment in Melody TownselFollow's diary, "Hospital Pricing A Go-Go!+" but after awhile I realized it was to long and decided to put it into it's own diary.

After the fold you will find some information to help you get a good ballpark for your own costs.

This morning Eric posted a diary called, "Shouldn’t Facebook Provide Equal Time?" which now redirects to another diary.

Eric started getting spanked by his own Teabaggers in this Facebook diary and did what did he do? Deleted his own diary instead of showing that he was getting pwned by his own people.

Marc Maron is a comedian that talks about current politics and some very random stuff about his life. I’ve followed Marc since he had a show on Air America(twice). When Air America was really going downhill he started his own podcast WTF Podcast.

Ken Mehlman is the ex-GOP party leader that lead Bush’s 2004 campaign. Everyone will remember Ken for bashing gays all the time and of course recently coming out as gay.

So, on to what happened...Marc was upgraded from coach to first class yesterday and who did he get seated next to? None other than ex-straight guy, Ken Mehlman! So, we had Marc Maron(political comedian commentator) seated next to Ken Mehlman(ex-GOP leader, gay basher, turns out he is gay) and Marc on the internet at 30,000. This was a recipe for disaster!

There isn’t much commentator I can add to this, the hilarity starts below the fold.

It was a snowing this afternoon but I still wanted to witness the ~~testicle~~ spectacle of Utahans speaking out cutting taxes for 95% of us! I had never been to a conservative protest rally in Utah and didn't know what to expect. They didn't fail to deliver...actually they did, it was an epic fail.

I am estimating(with my untrained eye) there were 100-150 Teabaggers at the most. There is no way there was over 200 Teabaggers...considering this is Salt Lake City, Utah(2nd reddest state to Oklahoma) this is really an epic fail.

Now, to be fair, there are two protests scheduled:

In the middle of downtown and during the lunch hour. 150 people show up = fail.

From 5-7pm on the edge of the city, in an industrial area, in front of a post office = fail.
