That's Patrice Wilson Kate :) he is the producer for Ark Music, the label where Rebecca Black is contracted! Poor Rebecca :lol:
He knew! :D

Jesus Christ, I forgot I told a "friend" I would have lunch with them today. This person is the dullest person I have ever come into contact with. She is something like Father Austin Purcell out of Father Ted, the person who once drove the entire population of a village in Nigeria to sail into crocodile infested waters and die, just so they wouldn't have to talk to him.

I still don't understand what all this shutdown business is about

how the fuck does the the gov shut down???
They have to agree on a budget, for the last comple months they've kinda been renewing the budgets under bush. So you have hardcore Tea Partier who came in promising 100billion plus cuts. Here are the issues

- Budget Cuts Number (38 billion was accepted but republicans are trying to force democrates to meet then @ 80-100% which imo sounds like communist. )
- Title 10 ( Republicans want to cut Adult Parenthood? which helps lower income women access health care, such as cancer check ups etc/ Keep in mind ABORTION is not part of this title so I don't see why it keeps getting brought up)


These are the only two issues left standing. To sum it up. A number has been agreed upon but Republicans want to cut programs that will help less fortunate kids go to college, etc.
-Title 10

I think the number Dems are looking at is 33 billion. The Repubs passed a bill in the House yesterday, that does that in addition to making military pay guaranteed for the rest of the year, but it also cuts Title 10, which was the only way Tea Party'ers would get on board. So even if the Senate amends the Bill to exclude the Title 10 cut, the Bill has to go back to the House for ratification. So the government is most likely going to shut down unless the Tea Party guys concede the Title 10 cut or Dems allow it.

On the real, cutting 33-38 billion from our budget is laughable. That's like eating one piece out of a 16 piece pizza.
