Republicans Defeat Fascist Democrats (Seriously!!)

True IM conversation, from three days ago. Yes, this is actually how we communicate:

Stan of Dejafoo: Dude. Senate Bill 1
Stan: so scary
Omri: this is the throw bloggers in jail bill?
Stan: Yea.
Omri: I got like five emails about that – it’s actually a thing?
Stan: most definitely a thing
Omri: whatever
Omri: this is an idiotic bill, written by ppl who don’t understand how technology works
Omri: I’m WAY more frustrated by the fact that skyllian won’t work with skype 3.0
Omri: than I am about s1
Stan: hahah
Stan: BTW. chimps are funny

Not to brag, but look how right we were:

“The attempt to require political bloggers to register as lobbyists previously reported by Slashdot has been stripped out of the lobbying reform bill. The vote was 55 to 43 to defeat the provision. All 48 Republicans, as well as 7 Democrats, voted against requiring bloggers to register; all 43 votes in favor of keeping the registration provision were by Democrats.”

The Democrats were elected by lunatic DKos commenters. Then their very first Senate bill was to try to go after lunatic DKos commenters. These people are really, really bad at their jobs.
