Aren’t appropriations bills supposed to originate in the House? How does Harry Reid come up with an omnibus?

As is noted in comments, I was thinking of revenue bills, not spending bills.

Why so many? 13% of the people still approve of Congress. What is wrong with them?

The zombie Congress stumbles along. The really frightening thing about this zombie is that it doesn’t even have a brain to shoot.

The Panama city shooter wasn’t exactly a Tea Partier:
Clay Duke, the man who opened fire on a Florida school board Tuesday, posted a “last testament” on Facebook decrying the wealthy and linking to a slew of progressive sites including theprogressivemind.info and MediaMatters.org.
Doesn’t matter, of course — they’ll just lie about it, and call him a “violent right winger.” Because “right wingers” are violent by definition, right? Or perhaps they’ll just pretend he didn’t exist, though if he really were a “right winger,” there would be endless blathering by the lefty punditocracy about how the violent rhetoric of the racist Tea Partiers encouraged him. After all, these are the same hacks who still say that Tim McVeigh was a Christian.

Are there any limitations on the federal government under the Constitution?

I don’t know if Radley’ site is still down, but meanwhile, via Paul Hsieh at Facebook, the nation’s political history in two lines:
Our political history in two lines:
“The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.” – G. Washington
“The Constitution? Are you serious?” – N. Pelosi
I don’t think she was serious when she took her oath of office. Then again, neither was George Bush, in that regard.
Jerry Brown has discovered what the rest of us knew years ago, even when some of us weren’t living here — that the California state budget is a mess. Well, how would he have been expected to know? He was only the state attorney general and a winning gubernatorial candidate.
Yes, let’s ask people how they like the new congress before it is even seated. You’d almost think they were biased, or something.
Really, like “racism,” “hate” has become a meaningless word, at least when employed by the left (and like “racist,” “hater,” “liar,” etc. it’s part of a broad pattern of psychological projection on their part). In fact, it’s almost gotten to the point at which I consider being accused of it a badge of honor.
If more people were aware of things like this, there would be a massive revolt against the education establishment.
For some reason the WaPo failed to publish its own poll showing a new low in Obama popularity.

From an email list:
A guy cruises through a stop sign and gets pulled over by a local policeman.
He hands the cop his driver’s license, insurance verification, plus his concealed carry permit.
“Okay, Mr. Smith,” the cop says, “I see your CHL permit. Are you carrying today?”
“Yes, I am.”
“Well then, better tell me what you got.”
Smith says, “Well, I got a .357 revolver in my inside coat pocket. There’s a 9mm semi-auto in the glove box.
And, I’ve got a .22 magnum derringer in my right boot.
“Okay,” the cop says. “Anything else?”
“Yeah, back in the trunk, there’s an AR15 and a shotgun.
That’s about it.”
“Mr. Smith, are you on your way to or from a gun range…?”
“Nope.”
“Well then, what are you afraid of…?”
“Not a damn thing…”
