I read this article today about the health care "debate" that went on in the Senate over the House's bill. Apparently a strategy that can be used when one side doesn't agree with the bill is to propose a bunch of amendments that are either absurd or right on point, "poison pills," thus forcing NO votes on amendments the senator would otherwise support. This has the benefit of prolonging the discussion on the bill and making the other side look stupid. Anyways, one sentence made me giggle. And since this blog is all things kitten...and champagne....
"Republicans did show some restraint, however, by declining to offer an amendment banning kitten executions." Read here.
