No wonder Congress is held in such low esteem.

not sure what to think about Stewart mugging (for the Camera) on this issue..
he, actually, (tries to) make it seem that this action, by the Congress, is ‘incomprehensible’…
he, or, if it’s too much for him, his ‘Team’, might care to some a few, simple ‘web searches’..
he/they might find (you know, if they bothered to look) .. “…The idea that these workers are terrorists is laughable, so why would this screening be required to determine whether or not they should receive benefits for the health conditions they acquired while working the pile?
It is easy, the simple fact is many of the 9/11 Responders and Family members of victims of the terrorist attacks have been a constant thorn in the side of both the Bush administration and the Obama Administration. Many of these folks are responsible for the 9/11 Commission itself, Rallies, Fundraisers, T.V. Ads and Protests that have enlightened millions to the overwhelming evidence that 9/11 is an ongoing cover up.
There can be no doubt that checking names of 9/11 First Responders against the FBI Terrorist Watchlist is to help determine whether the firefighter or police officer in question has been a active dissident against the Government’s Official 9/11 Story.
This will be used to chill any type of movement within the First Responders seeking the Truth about the attacks of 9/11. To do so means to lose their benefits which are badly needed considering this bill is literally 10 years late and many First Responders have already died as result…”

or, maybe, even the perpetrator of the amendment to the Bill.. “…The provision in that law to double-check those names against the federal terrorist watch list was recommended by U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns, who is now defending the measure as a common-sense safeguard against providing taxpayer money to would-be enemies.
The law, known as the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010, provided $4.3 billion in federal aid to rescue workers and victims’ families injured by the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center…”

but, of course, this, too, is just another opportunity for some more schtick and, accompanying laughs..
Good going, John..

remember me saying many months (going on over a year or 2) ago .. to pick your side .. to many people making to many problems .. I think it was in my ‘isms phase
on topic more directly .. I’m not sure if manipulators are pushing for a fight – for the fight – or for the fix – or if the fight is the fix
the fix is subculture talk for that other concept of 9/11 tick tock starting on Aug6th
… or was it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_2000
