Comments on: Senate Baseball Not a Hit http://www.politicalparlor.net/wp/2008/04/30/senate-baseball-not-a-hit/ & Home of Lawn Mower Repair Sun, 07 Sep 2008 07:16:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: Cam Ward http://www.politicalparlor.net/wp/2008/04/30/senate-baseball-not-a-hit/#comment-23702 Thu, 01 May 2008 12:10:28 +0000 http://www.politicalparlor.net/wp/2008/04/30/senate-baseball-not-a-hit/#comment-23702 Actually I made a bit of mistatement about "baseball" in the legislature. Someone brought this to my attention yesterday and I realized they were correct. Actually in the House it is known as the 10 minute calendar where everyone gets a chance to pass a bill but if you cannot do it in ten minutes then it has to be pulled. Since one person can speak against a bill for ten minutes you basically have to have no opposition. In the Senate baseball is actually when a Senator is given three attempts to pass a bill and if they cannot pass it in three tries then they move on to someone else's bill. Hence the idea of three strikes and your out. Thank you Senators for bringing that to my attention. I mean what did you expect from a lowly, uneducated House member.

Does Akil get cigarettes in prison, or does his momma's bill affect him too? seems enough baseball for sen. figures to polish a nob on the smoking bill.

I believe that you are challenging the truthfulness of David Grimes, not of me or the Political Parlor (though at first I was not sure). Lest anyone get confused, I assure you that I did talk to Rep. Grimes. You can read here on the site the comments that he made and know that I could not and would not have made up such comments. I don't know enough about him or the situation to have made up statements that sound credible. Frankly, I am skeptical that Grimes has said he did not speak with me and am led to wonder who and why someone would want to discredit him. If Grimes did say that he has not spoken to me, I would be interested to know to whom he said it and in what context. You may reach me directly from the contact page (link at the top of the sidebar). I maintain confidentiality of identity. Please forgive my skepticism. I hope you understand that I am more skeptical about an unsubstantiated, anonymous comment than I am about someone I have spoken to personally. Regarding comment #5…

He said that all the information about his comments were a complete fabrication. The man can't tell the truth to save his life. What really scares me is I think he really beleives what he says... I encurage you to ask him again, just to see what he says. Wren and Hubbard can't both be wrong. According to David Grimes he did not speak with anyone at Political Parlor.

Others, like Arthur Orr, have already figured out how things work a little better, but Brooks carps and complains and has yet to figure out that NO major bill passes in its first time out. And particularly when you tick off the Rules Chair! Ben Brooks has yet to figure out the process in the two years he has been in the Senate.
