CINO has been appropriated by Notre Dame, Boston College, and Georgetown.

BTW, were you @ BWI last Saturday around 7 in the Southwest baggage area?

BC and Georgetown are actually JINOs.

I do not understand the second reference.

Will people still be upset when Post Offices and highways are named by a Republican House as well, or will that be a valuable act of Patriotism?

It's actually spelled out in the Constitution that one of the things Congress has to do is name Post Offices. If you don't like it, amend the Constitution.

Yep, and Republicans have promised (we'll see if they keep it) to dedicate one day a month to it. That's it.

Why don't they just have a vote by acclaimation on all the BS (post offices, Iowa juniors bowling champions, etc) and then let Senator Bedfellow lather it up in front of the TV cameras in an empty chamber later? That would take about 6 seconds of floortime.

I believe there was a similar idea in that paper that Cantor was circulating a few weeks ago.

But what happens when they run out of Post Offices, Federal Buildings, highways, and the like? Will they start naming newly minted US Citizens?

They're going the other way. If your name's Jose, you're not a citizen.

By all rights, they won't have any new federal buildings to name, since the Federal Government is Evil*, and all.

(*I know. It's only evil when the Dems are in charge.)

It is evil only when my program is being gored.
