Burma is now officially the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.

It ain't no shaving cream. It apparently depends upon who you ask. According to the CIA World Factbook (which is actually a decent one-stop-shopping source for some things):

Since 1989 the military authorities in Burma have promoted the name Myanmar as a conventional name for their state; the US Government did not adopt the name, which is a derivative of the Burmese short-form name Myanma Naingngandaw.

So I guess that they are calling themselves Myanmar (that's what I thought), but we are officially having none of it. That would be just like us, wouldn't it?

What could this bill be about?

Beats me...truth, do you have a link to what you saw?

MaryKay I understand your point and agree to a certain extent but I also understand that if every bill that morally should be passed has other add ons placed in it just because of that then that is morally wrong too, further the only way to stop that path way is to close it.

DUDE let me get to the point, WE NEED HELP! crap GOT F#CKED UP!!!!! Not kidding bridges I have crossed for 20 years are GONE! F@UCKIN REBULID THEM AND NOOOOOOOOOOOW! OK????? GEEEEEZE!

I too wondered at Congress calling the country Burma.

The Burma thing caused me a lot of grief. I wanted to research H.J. Res. 66 after reading tristen's post, and all I could find were references to Burma. I spent a lot of time in head-scratching, What the heck mode. Trying to figure out what goes on in Congress is not a task for the easily discouraged.

Sorry about that, moderators. I'll use 'heck' in the future.

How about a reason to hold back money? Real; PEOPLE NEED REAL HELP. Where is the KINDNESS?????????????????????

It isn't just the point of "kindness". President Obama declared states of emergency in several states - RI was one of them. Maybe this is no big deal to all the lawmakers that voted "no" for disaster relief for the states that were hit hard, but I lost about $300 worth of food after 4 days with no power. To me, that is a disaster! Why give the President that power if it can't be used?

I believe we are all adults here who are facing some very hard times. Believe me, I have heard worse!

Here's an update on the disaster aid bill:

Same here, did you fill out your fema packet? It seems they won't help. I have to file more paperwork with the Red Cross.

I just found out a little while ago that tomorrow I can go to Human Services, won't have to wait in line, special tables are set up, fill out a form claiming the amount I lost due to the power outages and it will be on my EBT card by tomorrow afternoon.

I'll bet that must make the anti-entitlement members very angry!

Wow, that's great news. I will have to check into that here in NJ, I haven't received any info yet, but my losses were only food due to no power, unlike so many who really are suffering so I can wait.

And, who cares what the anti entitlement people think. They are able to register and collect damages as well.

It makes me happy.

Are you too smart for a sense of humor too?

No I thought what I said was funny

Here for my brother from another party

Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, a Compassionate Conservative and a Mean Conservative are walking down the street. They see a $100 bill lying on the ground. Who gets it?
