Over a thousand pages. Very intimidating. If I ever fantasized about being a member of Congress just one look at a document like this would make me change my mind. Navigating a document like this seems impossible.

Out of curiosity I did a word search and found that the phrase "West Bank and Gaza" appears seven or eight times. (And no, I didn't try to figure out the context.)

Ha. You’re clearly under the misconception that ANY lawmaker actually reads the bill. Maybe a staffer or two, or maybe they just get an overview from the lobbyists that wrote it, but there’s no chance of the congresspeople read the whole thing.

Another you're-getting-your-money's-worth post, Jamie. Thanks.

I mean, where else are you going to find out that the words 'telephone book' are in a bill getting approved by the U.S. House?

I know you’re as unbiased as a reporter can be, but apart from the disgraceful actions of democrat Roosevelt, literally every item you wrote about shows republicans for what they are - sniveling cowards, hateful liars, criminals, rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, train robbers, bank robbers… and Methodists.
