...House to kill it and build as many barriers to the House passing a bill as possible.

GOP to see if they can get Hispanic voting share under 20% in next election.

The Senate bill already passed the procedural filibuster hurdle with 68 votes. The bill itself is to be voted on around 4pm EST and is expected to get ~70 votes as well. Despite the bipartisan majority, Boehner has already said he won't put the bill up for a vote in the House, is having the House create multiple broken up bills rather than a comprehensive bill and will require a majority from both parties before he'll but the bills up.

View from the outside: Democratic-led Senate passed an immigration bill, GOP-led House killed it. We're gonna need more old white guys.

This is going to be a major issue next weekend when I go to get more strawberries from the markets.

Once you go gray it's hard to tell what color you started out as.

I took tomorrow off specifically to pick strawberries. it's supposed to rain. I don't mind hanging out in the rain in the summer, it's sort of refreshing. But picking strawberries in the mud is really messy.
