I know you all don't care, but I care and so I write.
Yo what up yo! So tommarow, wednesday, it is anticipated that Resolution 106 might finnaly be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives for a vote. But that all depends if Nancy Palosi decides to actually send the resolution to the floor for a vote. What is Resolution 106? The resolution if approved will recognize the Armenian Genocide, however it is completely nonbinding and therefore only simbolic. Years after years the resolution makes it to the speakers desk only to be postponed because the country is afraid of the damages that the resolution can make with the US relations with Turkey, who every year warns the congress and the president of the US that such a vote would put the US-Turkey relationship in jeapordy. This happend this year too. The president of Turkey today warned president Bush that if this resolution passes, there would be great repurcusions. Usually the resolution never makes it to the floor for a vote. But this year is a little different. Nancy Palosi is sympathetic to the resolution having said before that she would approve it. Also the house now has a Democratic majority and most of the representatives have already signed a petition that says that they would approve the resolution, all that is left is for the resolution to actually make it to the floor for a vote. Well, I doubt it will come to a vote even this year. Turkey is putting great pressure on US to not vote on it, and I'm sure that Bush and others like him will succed in persuading Palosi not to give the resolution to the floor for a vote. Because who gives a fuck about Armenia anyway, its not worth the trouble of losing our wonderful relationship with Turkey over a piece of shit country like Armenia. And it is a piece of shit country, and I know you all don't give a shit, but like I said, its my blog, and I can post whatever I want. Peace y'all!

Y'all? I think that's my trademark, heffer. Foreign people can't really pull off southern slang well anyways.
The committee chairman, Rep. Tom Lantos, cited the potential fallout if the proposal passed. Lantos, a Hungarian-born survivor of the Holocaust, supported a similar resolution two years ago.
"We have to weigh the desire to express our solidarity with the Armenian people ... against the risk that it could cause young men and women in the uniform of the United States armed services to pay an even heavier price than they are currently paying," said Lantos, D-Calif.
Sorry about the bad news today, Bush is an ass-hole and a really big one at that.
PS Thought it was funny that a democrat from California is endorsing this proposition.
thanks homie! This year is the closest that this resolution is ever going to get to being passed. most of the representatives said they will vote yes, the only thing that stands in the way of it making to the floor is if Palosi backs down to Bush, but she said she would not, however, women have been know to lie. Anyway, if it doesn't pass today, then it won't happen for a long time. Thanks for your input!
