[Heracles 417]

House of reps are on Cspan and Senators are on Cspan2

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Kerry's rockin.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Kerry is mentioning those same dual-eligibles. Who are these people? Apparently they've been thrown into the pockets of pharma.

I am mad at pharma. I do not know why.

Again, the donut hole.

House of reps are on Cspan and Senators are on Cspan2

The Senate is where the balance of power lies.

Kerry says he wants to protect people.

Senator Carper- how much should pharma contribute?

The black person behind Senator Carper. Male or female?

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Kerry is right.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Senator Carper asks staff, am I off base?

Senator Nelson FL bringing up hospistal and pharma profit margins.

Staff expert speaking. He looks vaguely Arab. Can i trust him?

Swarthy looking expert: little more than half of all hospitals are non-profit.

Schumer: 85% of hospitals are in the red

in NY

CSPAN2 says Senator Rockefeller is from West Virginia but he doesn't look or talk anything like those dudes from Deliverance

The donut hole rears its ugly head again.

Is the argument being made that not-for-profit hospitals are in the red?

Did he seriously say that?

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Rockefeller: There is something sacred about our deal with seniors on the donut hole. There are 8 million people out there paying premiums but not getting services because they are trapped in the donut hole!

This donut hole sounds like an evil place.

CSPAN2 says Senator Rockefeller is from West Virginia but he doesn't look or talk anything like those dudes from Deliverance

CSPAN2 said he's from WV.

I made the observation he's nothing like the guys I'd expect him to look and sound like. I am surprised. I think CSPAN2 may be lying to me.

Grassley is angry again, he is saying someone has no donut hole. Senator Nelson is speaking slowly in response, choosing his words wisely, but I'm too busy typing to listen.

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Grassely is a little b!tch.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Stabenow is changing the subject.

Stabenow is speaking to staffing problems in ERs.

[one...two...tree 2,762]

wow...she really did change the subject.

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Stabenow is talking, Schumer is behind her having his own private conversation with someone else. Rude sumbitch.

Yes, he's one of the Senators from West Virginia. Byrd is the other.

Rockefeller was also Governor. He's not a native West Virginian - raised in New York.

That being said........I don't know anybody who sounds like the guys from Deliverance......
