Yay! We're Going to Stop Spending Money on Defense and Give it to the Schools!

That is what’s going to happen, right, when we don’t pass the defense reauthorization bill, because of the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell repeal rider on it, yes? Susan Collins, Republican of Maine, “who backs repeal of the policy, said she would nonetheless vote against moving forward with debate because of a dispute with the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid of Nevada, over whether Republicans would be allowed to offer amendments to the bill.” So, you know, LOL, good to know, they are not going to take these gays and (legal, and not government-funded!) abortions and having the Mexicans in our Army, so there are not 60 Senators who are going to pass the military spending bill. Some people are still afraid of that little gnome John McCain, who’s all insanely atwitch about gays in his military. Also, maybe Mexicans actually aren’t the new Irish. I guess they can only be the new Irish if they invade Canada, not Iraq.
