An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
S 3577
Update: The Senate bill number may be S277
Do you ever wonder if the Senate changes the number of a bill to confuse us moronic masses out here in the real world? Evidently, they really do think we’re stupid, and will never figure out what they are up to. Psst! Hey Harry! BITE ME!

You can call it whatever you want, it’s still a piece of crap, and IMHO, anyone who votes FOR this violation of decency, and the U.S. Constitution, should be tried for treason! But, that’s just me.
