- They're flying now. Unlike the Assembly, the Senate still appreciates getting home at a reasonable hour. And as items speed up, the debate becomes less interesting.
- Dale Schultz's rant against the hospital tax increase is I think the first coherent and well-formed speech I've heard from the Republicans since I started listening a few hours ago.
- Wow, how many times does Jon Erpenbach have to answer the same question from Mary Lazich? Twenty? Thirty?
- Nurse Judy is currently proving why the Senate Democrats are better off letting Jon Erpenbach do their talking. And why the hell is Dave Hansen sitting there looking so smug?
- Did Mark Miller just bitch-slap Republicans with the words of Adam Smith? Is that what I just heard?
- Thanks to WisconsinEye, I can pause state budget action and wait for Carol Roessler to stop talking. Then I can fast forward through all her remarks.
- Erpenbach just said "If it's good enough for us, it's good enough for our constituents." Republicans, that's the message you have to beat.
- Rationing on health care, Alberta? Oooh, the rationing boogeyman. Have you ever tried getting a referral to a specialist from an HMO? The entirety of the HMO system is based around rationing. Why is okay for a private provider to do it but not government?
- HAHA. Then Darling admits that she knows health care is the number one issue in the state, and then "ums" and "ahs" her way into saying that it's a "co-#1" with taxes. Nice try, there. Someone got off the the talking points on accident. Oopsie!
- Who is Alberta Darling to talk about "average" Wisconsin families? Has she LOOKED around her house lately? Wow, and then she goes into the typical "Wisconsin sucks, don't locate your business here" rhetoric.
- Someone really needs to allow calculators on the floor of the Senate. Mary Lazich sounds like she's just guessing at the numbers.
- I laughed out loud when I heard Ted Kanavas said something to the effect of "we need to treat this bill like it's the actual budget, because each of these provisions could be included after conference committee." Clearly, Ted Kanavas understands the negotiating skills of Assembly Republicans.
