Lawrence O'Donnell got into an angry argument with a Republican congressman over the impending government shutdown.
On his Thursday show, O'Donnell and Rep. Tom Graves of Georgia argued about who was to blame for the shutdown, and O'Donnell pressed Graves about the so-called "riders" in the bill that many say are the sticking point between the Democrats and the Republicans.
The "riders" are policy items attached to the overall budget that try to strip funding from certain programs. It is widely believed that it is these riders, not any argument about spending, that are what is holding up a deal between the two parties. Perhaps the key rider concerns the funding of Planned Parenthood.
O'Donnell asked Graves, "Can you vote for a bill that does not completely defund Planned Parenthood?" Graves was cagey, only saying that he wants to vote for a bill that "maximizes the savings for the American people." O'Donnell asked him repeatedly, but Graves would only say that he did not "intend" to vote for a bill that funded Planned Parenthood.
"You are willing to stop payment for the troops in order to stop any funding for Planned Parenthood," O'Donnell said. Graves objected to this, saying that the House had voted to fund the troops only that day. O'Donnell said the measure in question was nothing but a political ploy, not a serious bill.
O'Donnell then asked Graves about a bill that he said would allow the House to pass measures into law without the approval of the Senate, or even the president. O'Donnell called it an "absurdist, unconstitutional cartoon" and asked Graves how he could have voted for it. Graves said he was glad O'Donnell had mentioned the Constitution, because "nowhere in the Constitution does it say, fund Planned Parenthood." This got O'Donnell really mad. "You should be ashamed of yourself," he shouted. "Your insane bill says that the House of Representatives can pass a bill and it becomes law without the signature of the president."

U.S. President Barack Obama will address a joint session of Congress for the first time, about the challenges the nation faces. The economy will be the main topic in the nationally-broadcast speech.
The economic crisis has occupied much of President Obama's time and attention in his 36 days in office. And his press secretary, Robert Gibbs, says it will be the primary focus of this address. "I think what you will hear tonight is the president talking about the tough times that we are in, and a path that we have to take to put this economy back on track and get people back to work," he said.

The choice of Ms. Rice to represent the United States before the United Nations will make her one of the most visible faces of the Obama administration and It will also send to the world organization a prominent advocate of stronger action to stop mass killings like those in the Darfur region of Sudan in recent years.

Numbers don't lie. Dr. House said it.
Well, our government cannot keep spending money it doesn't have without consequences. Just like Madoff's Ponzi ended because he lost investors to keep the scheme going, the U.S. Treasury (being broke and) without enough tax payers to keep the interest paid, our country is going to reap the same consequences.
Eventually our creditors will want their money. That means all the United States has as assets and its citizens, their assets too, will be awarded to those that lent the money and didn't get paid back.
Our politicians are professional Ponzi schemers.
