Good work Boehner - Way to keep the important issue on the House floor.

Todays House Hearing -

Hearing: Oversight Field Hearing on "The Northern Long Eared Bat: The Federal Endangered Species Act and Impacts of a Listing on Pennsylvania and 37 Other States"

This hearing will examine questions regarding bat data and non-human-caused disease, as well as the likely negative impacts that a federal endangered listing of the Northern Long Eared Bat under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) would have on important activities such as farming. The Northern Long Eared Bat is one of hundreds of species included in the Department of the Interior’s 2011 settlements with two groups that requires listing decisions by 2016. A final decision for the Northern Long Eared Bat could be made within the next several months. Witnesses at this hearing will testify about the real economic impacts of this potential listing on Pennsylvania citizens without any measurable benefits for the bat.

He looks like something that would fly out of Alias' vagina.

Blessed are the murderous.

Bats are critical to agriculture because they consume large amounts of insects that eat crops. Are you another one of the farming "experts" we have on the FFU?

A "field hearing" is on the House floor? That would be a first I think, considering field hearings usually imply that the hearing is taking place away from the Capitol complex.

You are in over your head here and showing the world how stupid you are. First, did you see the part where there could be a possible economic impact if the bat were to end up on the Endangered Species list? Do you even know what the term economic impact means?

Yes, quite a few PO naming bills, but that is what a Suspension day (you're probably going to need to look that up) is for. Besides, a good chunk of these bills are sponsored by Democrats. Now, let's see how many of these bills Harry Reid sits on.


Pro tip. It's not that hard to stay informed in the internet age, you might want to try it some time.

Yes, that is the sound of me kicking the shit out of your dimwitted post.

^ The average person doesn't give a flying rat's ass about any of those measures, with the possible exception of the Stopping Tax Offenders and Prosecuting Identity Theft Act - which probably won't pass since it's sponsored by a Democrat. This is just sad.

Again, it is a Suspension day. Take a lesson about House procedure.

$100 says the ID theft act passes. Rarely do you put things on the Suspension Calendar only to see them fail.

Besides, I bet people living in Tsunami prone areas (Hawaii) might care about research into that.

People in the STEM field probably care about Supercomputing too.

OP, you are an idiot.

Bwahahahahaha. OP got pwned.

wear a good hat

FFXU, the place where libs come to get ass PWND day in and day out.

And it passed.

Just admit you don't know shit.

Now, will Harry Reid sit on this bill like he does on all the rest. Time for Harry Reid to stop being an obstructionist and get things done.
