Senate Parlimentarian Tells GOP to SUCK IT!
Senate parliamentarian Alan Frumin ruled against Senate Republicans Monday night, setting aside the first of many expected procedural objections from the GOP.

Raw Food Watch: Spiral Veggie Slicer & Debbie Meyer Green Boxes
I have been eating raw for a little more than a month now and I have lost 20lbs. Yay me!
Here is a little contraction that is going to bring my raw food meals to the next level. It’s a Spiral Veggie Slicer. I’ll take pictures of my dinner tonight; you’ll see. Check it out:
These are a few of Debbie Meyer Green Boxes which keep my fruits and veggies fresher longer.
Last but certainly not least is my dinner salad from last night. I admit, it looks a little wilted and sad, but trust me, it wasn’t. There were wild green, spinach, red and yellow peppers, tomato, cranberries, flax seeds, cucumber, pepper, celtic sea salt and homemade tahini salad dressing. Yummy!
Tomorrow I’ll show you the wonders of the spiral slicer. It is so cool.\\

Michael Steel: Stop Already!
More nonsensical BS from the man who really thinks he is President Barack Obama’s equal. He has lost his dang blasted mind.
He is under the mistaken impression that the black folks he is trying to bring into the Republican fold are hip hoppin, kneeslappin, finger lickin, ebonics speakin idiots. Mr. Steele you are sorely mistaken and you have said nothing and your party has done nothing but let me know there is no place for me in your party. So I’ll kindly keep my chicken finger lickin, watermelon slurpin mindless vote from your slimy, greedy, hypocritical clutches.
