Being a Blank "is Hard Work".

Meaning found in file folder:
Being a Heretic is Hard Work.
Or maybe it is the difference between being and getting 'er done.

[OWS verse the 1%?]
[Getting 'er* done?]

[Super Stick: Debt Deal or Leverage: One thing about the Debt Ceiling deal and the Super Committee is that its failure is a not really that crucial. If it gets something done, the next congress can undo it. If it doesn't get anything done, the next congress will handle the cuts. Heck, I am not even certain it would be binding. Either way the next election will be telling. But anything balanced from the committee will not only be unlikely, but will not balance the history of Republican obstructionism since Obama game into office, nor balance the Republican debt.(See saw)]

LABELS

Triumph of the process (breaking)

Democratic opposition to seating Burris cracks. Failure of context. Saying something and acting on it are two different things. The senate has not seated Burris, while the "whys" are still wavering in the media. Race, politics, and media are undeniable factors; putting them together and forming questions and "Y"s are infinite.
[Definitively ** by Harry Reid: And apparently may "be damned"(Mike Vicara)*]

Bottom line: the senate is following its rules and making sure Illinois is following its rules and no one person is the decider, though many can have their say, and others can twist in the wind.

As for the other twisting senator; which hangs on the process as well.

The catch is that duplicate ballots are counted, but the orginals are not. That is the reason they are duplicated, in order to count them(presumably to get the count into a machine)and by every right the orginals are not counted because they cannot be counted. Speaking as one who has been a(legal)counter and duplicator of votes in Washington State.

[* this is what's breaking live on MSNBC: as my own imaginings and search for missing links, the mention of U.S. Senate rules requiring two signatures is yet to be found, meanwhile the process is being tainted by the media incompetence. Hence the reason the rules committe will be looking at this. I could imagine this going to the U.S. Supreme Court, but it would be likely that the process the senate will take will be within their rights. Rules are not laws, but processes, that must submit to the people involved. Out of this fog, my prediction is that the vote by the full senate will rule. The fact that it may be flexible is the matter. i.e. hinges on the idea that Illinois has a space for and the U.S. senate has required two signatures. That the U.S. Senate determines its rules is the rule and voting on it may be another hinge.]

** the link that hinges on my imagination and rulings, meaning what I hung my comments on,[the missing link(*)] while the Mike Vicara note refers to the taint the media insists on painting with their imaginings rather than footwork. OK, they are keeping us on our toes, by stepping on some.

*** "But you shouldn't confuse the fact that the courts should remain open to hear those claims, with the question of whether or not those claims have any merit," Elias said. "And in this case, former Senator Coleman's claims don't have any merit."
