What would you like me to get them to say?
While a 9 mm or .40 caliber bullet may or may not expand, it is an undeniable fact that a .45 caliber bullet will never shrink.

Remind me to tell you about the three month long stay in hell after the smoke alarm battery got weak and started chirping to tell us.

It was directly over the (stupid) birds cage

Can you train them to stop saying things?

yes but only if you want to hear a week of "don't say that, don't say that, don't say that"

Seriously, the legalization of dueling would end political pandering and solve political corruption in the State

I have to post this here because you guys will understand what is happening.

My 'man cave" (containing the I Love Me wall) is just off the dining room and living room where my wife's African Gray parrot lurks in his (or maybe her) cage.  We had to move the bird from the living room because once he hears something he likes, more than once, (clap on! clap off!) then he is able to repeat it.

Over and over again.

The parrot "Larry" (I have no idea why that is his name) just said, loudly and clearly

"Have all voted who wished?" "Have all voted who wished?"

Hilarious.  Posted Image

On HB0203 - One Gun per Month, Representatives Sente and Hernandez signed on as sponsors just before its defeat.

Welcome to the losing side of the argument ladies.  Enjoy your stay.


EDIT:  I misread the bill status.  Representative Sente actually removed herself as a sponsor the morning of the vote.

Rep Reis-"This bill will not limit the right of women to terminate pregnancies"

I was just looking through my handy dandy pocket constitution and I don't see anything in it that reads "the right of women to have abortions shall not be infringed". Can we please stop making up rights?

Looks like we got some good wins in today but none of them with 71 or more votes in our favor.  Should we be concerned for hb148?

I hate it when "rights" are made up, especially when the same people want to take away the actual RIGHTS that are enumerated in the Constitution.

bringing up the standards of ambulatory facilities that perform early term abortions at least to the standards of other outpatient service facilites.

I've heard arguments that veternary clinics are held to higher standards.

Probably because your veternary clinic wasn't up to standard and your horse died.

While not trying to get into a discussion about abortion, the thing I don't understand is that so many legislators who support a right to abortion are also against the second amendment.

I just don't know how to reconcile the former, where the excersice of the right will end human life, while there are so many ways to excersice the latter without even threatening human life.

They support their right to choose, but their against your choice. Its an elitist view. The only choices people should have are ones that are granted by the elite.

Sad but true. In Illinois it seems the theory is the only "rights" people should have are those granted by the elite.
