Subject: Harry Reid Vote

Once Democrats knew the bill wouldn’t pass, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., switched his “Yes” vote to “No,” a procedural move that will allow him to try to move the bill again at a later date.

“But it’s clear where Democrats stand,” Reid said. “We stand for equal pay for equal work. And it’s time for Republicans to stop denying the reality that millions of women face every day, and work with us to give women the pay equality they deserve.”

Roger

Thanks Roger. This is why Americans hate Congress so much. Convoluted procedures as complex as our tax forms that waste time and money.

It is shameful that Republicans are continuing this war on women and minorities. Who will be left to vote for the GOP? Angry White men?

Subject: Spider it isn’t

Hi, Lisa

Your spider appears to be a whipscorpion aka a vinegaroon. It is called vinegaroon because it shoots an acetic acid from an abdominal duct. This solution is generally harmless. They eat other creepy-crawleys. It is understandable that you felt threatened by the beastie; I mean – look at it.

Peace and unrest, Mick

Thanks for writing, Mick. Beastie is a great description. Some of the insects down here look prehistoric, no wonder Jurassic Park was filmed here.
