More at http://www.theuptake.org. Watch out Conan O'Brien, David Letterman and other late night comedians. The Minnesota House of Representatives is trying to provide you competition. At 11:30 last night when most Minnesotans have turned off the TV and gone to bed, the House put on its own version of stand-up comedy.
It all began with a proposal to not pay lawmakers expenses (per diem) during any special session. The idea being that would be an incentive to finish all the work during the regular session which is scheduled to finish next month.
Instead of voting down the proposal, Rep Rod Hamilton (R) Mountain Lake moved to amend it to require Twin Cities metro areas legislators to provide housing, food, laundry and entertainment for non-metro area legislators.
The amendment touched off a round of comedy and eventually led to original proposal being withdrawn. In other words, the proposal to eliminate special session per diem pay made by Rep. Joyce Peppin (R) of Rogers was literally laughed off the House floor.

Why is everyone so angry about this? 5 minutes of fun politics. This is why I much prefer to watch the British House of Commons working at it rather than the US House because of the lively debates, opposed to boring, cold, and lifeless discussions that are now the US House and Senate. Good for the MN House!
these ppl are f-ing with ppls lives there is only so far the ppl of this country will let this go. it will blow up in there faces if they keep insisting upon this path.
