Inching toward adjournment

It's not a last-day-of-the-session like most last days of the session. Instead of feverish meetings to resolve pointed differences, there are leisurely lunches and scrapbook photographs being taken.

Some of those scrapbook photos are legislators posing with the speaker of the House, who won't be in that role when the gavel falls in January. Speaker Gaye Symington, D-Jericho, said it outright today that she won't be running for re-election to her House seat. She didn't say what she will be doing instead, though one big possibility is running for governor.

Those of us with deadlines to think about wouldn't mind if they felt a little more feverish about adjourning sooner rather than later, but we are guessing late afternoon/early evening.

Now if we could just get rid of Shumlin, Vermont actually might be able to see some forward progress.
 
If there were anything worth reporting that caused you to worry about meeting your deadline, I'm guessing you would have posted it, as opposed to this riveting flash. One more day of State House reporting, then seven months of nothing really. Teachers don't have it that good.
 
And just what is Shumlin doing that is preventing Vermont from being able to see some forward progress, little factually-challenged fella, holding Entergy accountable for holding up their end of the Decommissioning Deal and refusing to let O'Kane misrepresent the legislative proposal dealing with the matter?

That's what I thought.

The doogie/dubie debacle is the problem. Losing the doogie/dubie debacle is the solution.

Doogie has no more business being Governor than Keith Richards does being named Designated Driver of the Decade.

Always a pleasure.

Dismissed.
 
November 5, 2008:

Douglas will be Governor.

Dubie will be Lt. Governor.

jw will be bupkis.
 
It was soooo nice to see all the Dems finally being convinced that maybe Douglas had a good idea after all. His stimulus package that was so full of crap was easily passed and the Dems stimulus package is still back in the drawing room- or was it mixed in with JW's Looney Tunes comics!
 
It sure as hell wasn't mixed in with your evidence in support of your delusional dreck, little fella.

Geez, what's with the snark? These guys will be covering the campaign from now until November. And since the Gov's race will be a three-way, that's even more work.

How about a little slack?
 
Yeah, right. You mean they'll be writing more light and airy pieces about Douglas and ignoring everyone else. Douglas is on Gannett's payroll.
 
I think you mean Gannett is on Douglas' payroll...
 
Never thought I'd see the day when Vermont has become so left-wing that a liberal, dimocrat-leaning paper like the BFP is considered by many to be "on Douglas' payroll"!

TAKE BACK VERMONT!

That's a good one, little bigot boy.

Clearly, your ignorant, ill-informed, anti-American ass has never thought about anything.

"TAKE BACK VERMONT!"

It's not yours to take, bubbles.

Always a pleasure.

Dismissed.

Yeah c'mon Bubba. JW will tell you whant you can think and what you can take. After all he is the Minister of the Party Line.

No, little factually-challenged fella, you're just ignorant trash with bupkis.

You always were. You always will be.

I will, however, teach your ignorant ass how to spell want if you "whant" me to.

I'm always happy to give back to the Community and help wipe out adult ignorance and illiteracy.

It's a labor of love.

Of course, given the fact that it just decimates the ignorant-trash gop base in the process, what's not to like?

Always a pleasure.

Dismissed.
 
Pollina for Govedrnor - he can win
