Pork or Sausage

I sit again 9 days before Christmas watching C-Span - this time it is the House of Representatives trying to get out of D.C. in time for Christmas. This was happening last year (Dec. 21, 2009) for the Healthcare bill but it was the Senate crying about possibly missing Christmas. It reminds me of cramming for finals - last minute attempt to get it correct.

Tonight's vote is scheduled for 11pm EST. The Senate has already passed the bill 81-19 and now it is the House's turn to try to beat the Christmas deadline.

I blogged about the Healthcare bill politics (Nov. 8 and Dec. 21, 2009) referencing the famous quote about "making sausage". This compromise tax extension bill is full of pork and tonights chatter again looks like sausage.

Personally after watching both sides debate this bill - I think they are all "hams"!
