Are you kidding me? The NYPost reports this crazy bit of business:
Some wealthy Manhattan moms have figured out a way to cut the long lines at Disney World — by hiring disabled people to pose as family members so they and their kids can jump to the front, The Post has learned.
Seriously, people, the lines are what you pay for. It is one of the biggest reasons why I don’t go to amusement parks.
Will Harry Reid invoke the “nuclear option” to rein in the obstructionist GOP? The Hill reports that it is back on the table and may have more Democratic support this time.
“Leader Reid over the last two weeks has talked about this and many other Democrats like Sen. Sanders who have been advocates for reforming the Senate rules,” said Larry Cohen, president of the Communications Workers of America, which strongly supports reform.
Cohen said he does not expect Reid to act before the beginning of July, when the Senate is likely to be finished debating comprehensive immigration reform legislation.
“I think the frustration is mounting among members [of the Senate],” said Jamal Raad, a spokesman for Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.). “If we continue to see the obstruction we’re seeing on nominees, we may have to address the rules of the Senate again.”I’m not getting my hopes up, but it is plenty stupid to let the GOP continue to obstruct because you want the opportunity to obstruct yourself. Figure out a better way to work, Senate, that makes the business of governing a priority and not feeding Fox News.
