Ladies, Tom Harkin (Deranged-Iowa) feels your pain menstrual cramps [Darleen Click]
CNS News Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) today justified what the Catholic bishops of the United States have unanimously called an “unjust and illegal mandate” that forces Catholic business owners to provide coverage for free sterilizations, contraceptives and abortion-inducing drugs because, Harkin said, some women need birth control pills to deal with menstrual pain. “There are many women who take birth control pills, for example, because they have terrible menstrual cramps

It really should have been on Pay-per-view. I wonder — is Dick Cheney watching the voting? update: AP calls it for Cruz with 20% reporting. No word yet on whether Dick Cheney has called that a mistake.

“House to consider eliminating Senate confirmation for presidential appointees” [update]

For future “streamlining” and “efficiency.” Wouldn’t want the road to serfdom filled with all these procedural potholes, after all. Forward!

The bill now goes to President Obama’s desk for his signature.” Next up, Congress will vote to let itself
