The Lonely Conservative is on the ball!

Via a Tweet from Michelle Malkin she links to the reconciliation bill which has just gone up.

She did not find the word abortion in it.

My understanding is they still need to pass the senate bill before they can consider this.

I have a breakfast with my elderly confirmation godfather scheduled tomorrow so I don’t know how much time I’ll have to go through it but we shall see.

Update: Michelle Has a full post up on the subject. I’m sure three days will be enough for everyone to understand just what is in this bill and what they are voting on.

Never forget that we as a nation elected these people. If this monstrosity is passed and we have to live with it, then a lot of voters who bought the whole hope change nonsense will only have themselves to blame.

Update 2: While the word Abortion is not in here the words “family planning” appear 19 times.

from page 784:

In the case of an individual described in section 1902(hh), such medical assistance shall be limited to family planning services and supplies described in 1905(a)(4)(C) and, at the State’s option, medical diagnosis and treatment services that are provided in conjunction with a family planning service in a family planning setting. emphasis mine

Hmmm…”treatment services that are provided in conjunction with a family planning service”. I wonder what that might be referring to? I suspect it doesn’t refer to foot massages.

Update 3: the bill is not without comedy.

Update 4: Memeorandum has it up but somehow doesn’t include the Lonely Conservative who was first. What gives?

Ann Althouse qualifes under the 20/40 rule hands down.

I was perusing memeorandum to see if there was anything I wanted to rant about before I hit the sack and noticed a link that included Ann Althouse. I don’t normally see Althouse listed there so I checked out the post. It was in answer to Rush Limbaugh and the lessons of the 60’s.

The post is typical Althouse, well written, intelligent and a pleasure to read but in reading the post I was struck dumb by a sentence near the end that really threw me for a loop:

I’d say the 60s left quite a mark on Rush Limbaugh. They left a mark on me too — quite a different mark though (and I was born on the same day in 1951 as Rush).

My reaction. Ann Althouse was born in 1951! She is twelve years older than me and pushing 60?

I mean look at the woman:

If this woman looks like this at 59 can you imagine what she must have looked like 30 years ago? Meade I tip my fedora to you and Ann as gentlemen used to say in an earlier time: My complements marm!

Lent prevents me from going there myself…

But just because I can’t doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be checking out Rich’s Comic’s Blog, Life Dr. Who and Combom or Planet Gallifrey. Nor should you neglect Big Finish or Mike’s Comics.

Three weeks to go and I can open the box!

A quick FYI on comments…

I’ve noticed that lately the Spammers have been getting better and better and disguising their stuff. I’ve seen quite a few spam comments manage to make it to the regular queue before I can weed them out.

I’ve also noticed that several legit comments have been sent to the spam queue. If your comment is delayed in being posted (read Dad29) it is likely due to it being accidentally re-directed to the spam queue by wordpress.

Rest assured that I check the spam queue and if I see you being called spam when you should not I’ll get you out of there and back into the regular queue.

Normal comment rules apply. If you are using profanity it will be edited. If you want an idea of what I won’t allow check here.
