Do we have permission to get rid of the Stimulus bill, also? Why would you want to get rid of the first intelligent bill introduced in America for 8 years? |

So your stating that the democratic controlled congress during the Bush administration never passed an intelligent bill?
I have no problem believing that! John wikipedia "In the 1996 and 1998 elections, Republicans lost Congressional seats but still retained control of the House and, more narrowly, the Senate. After the 2000 election, the Senate was divided evenly between the parties, with Republicans retaining the right to organize the Senate due to the election of Dick Cheney as Vice President and ex officio presiding officer of the Senate. The Senate shifted to control by the Democrats (though they technically were the plurality party as they were one short of a majority) after GOP senator Jim Jeffords changed party registration to "Independent" in June 2001, but later returned to Republican control after the November 2002 elections. In the 2006 elections, Democrats won both the House of Representatives (233 Democrats, 202 Republicans) and the Senate (49 Democrats, 49 Republicans, and 2 Independents caucusing with the Democrats) as well as the majority of state governorships (28-22).

Hence the proliferation of spell checkers.
Now if I could only get the grandma checker to kick in. 8) John "Twibil" wrote in message ...

And we have no problem believing that you never learned in grade school what the contraction "you're" means (it means "you are") as opposed to "your", meaning "belonging to you". BTW: while you're looking things up, check out procedural stalling tactics and Presidential veto powers. |

There are so many people who don't understand the difference between "your" and "you're" that I have just about given up on it, except for trying to teach it to my students... One of the errors that seems to be more frequent than it used to be is "then" and "than" being misused, as well as "do" and "due". It seems that modern writers, even those with college degrees subscribe to the theory that if it sounds the same, what's the difference? Sigh. |

Comma rules are a bit 'fuzzy', and greatly different than they were 55 years or so, when I learned English. |
