Only works for me in Internet Explorer, in Windows 7. Audio is horrible quality again, too.

-Rich

I don't have Windows, this is the first time I have had this problem

 

[isleofman]

I can't get audio Tried in both Safari and Firefox

Try VLC and use Open Stream with - mms://alisonsenav.legislature.state.al.us/SenAudio

I get really nice audio on the video feed. Ready to smack the "zapper" windbag guy who keeps asking for titles of local message/bills to be read at length.

Who is that guy?

Edit: Singleton. He's asking about every. single. title.

 

[BarefootFriar]

Yep, that's annoying.

 

[Echoloc8]

More Democrat procedural punishment for Republican chicanery earlier in the session? Ugh.

Ready to choke him. Free the Hops says that he is pro-homebrew (and his own wandering comments at the beginning of the session make me think the same), but I'm tired of him wasting time.

 

[BarefootFriar]

It's this guy: http://www.legislature.state.al.us/senate/senators/senatebios/sd024.html

It looks like the clerk has a deep stack of messages from the house.

Good grief. It's going to take a couple of hours to read them all.

 

[alestateyall]

What was the title of that last one?

 

[alestateyall]

Just kidding!

 

[isleofman]

...Senator Zaps...

 

[Echoloc8]

I wish more citizens would hear this sort of thing and realize how their tax money is wasted with this garbage.

-Rich

 

[LAHammer]

Your government at work. Can you imagine having to go through this to get anything done?

 

[alestateyall]

More filibuster. He just told people to go get lunch!

 

[BarefootFriar]

This is frustrating.

 

[isleofman]

This is frustrating.

Yup. He talks about helping the poeple of Alabama, but he is not helping the people of Alabama by filibustering.

 

[homebrewdad]

did they not already state that the budget wasn't ready for a vote yet? Why filibuster now?

 

[isleofman]

Recess until 2PM. They DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.

 

[homebrewdad]

Recess until 2:00.

 

[Orthobrewsky]

Do you all realize that to brew illegally, you must either be in Alabama (or, briefly, MS) or an Islamic state? If we don't make it, I'd say it is time to use this fact to engage in some fear-mongering of our own, promoting the suspicion that ALCAP is secretly an Islamic organization, working to bring in Sharia law. I don't know, maybe they are closer to that than to historic Christianity.

"It is a mistake to think that Christians ought all to be teetotalers; Mohammedanism, not Christianity, is the teetotal religion."

[CGVT]

****ing jackholes.

 

[alestateyall]

Why the recess?

 

[Echoloc8]

Recess... Wow.

I can only presume they're doing lots of backroom negotiating. Courageous wrangling on the down-low for the good of the populace.

Yeah.

-Rich

 

[MTate37]

Recess??? Are you effing kidding me??? I don't even know what to say.

 

[Orthobrewsky]

Yes, the 10 minute rule means time is very precious to them and they must not waste any. And yet...not really.

 

[CGVT]

I don't think it matters. I think we're dead in the water with the 10 minute rule in effect.

Damn voucher bill *sigh*

 

[isleofman]

I'd love to start work at noon and hit lunch at 130 and be out by 5...


I need a beer.

 

[Huff360]

They have been running pretty late the last couple sessions. I wouldn't be surprised to see them go well into the evening. If the budget ever gets to the floor, I would not be surprised to see them go to midnight.

 

[wailingguitar]

Up and running again, my mind spins wondering what new insanity we will see...

 

[LAHammer]

This is politics at it's best. Somebody gets their feelers hurt and they cause a problem for everybody. Makes you wonder why anybody wants to go through this.
Rep. McCutcheon and Senator Holtzclaw need our thanks for even attempting this.
Hope we can still get this through. Surely they can get the the 1st bill!

 

[isleofman]

Senator Ross was my high school principal. He had my deep respect but he is quickly losing it.

 

[BarefootFriar]

If you will freaking SHUT UP, then maybe we can GET to the darn budget.

 

[gcdowd]

Wait, is this the 28th legislative day? Jesus, this clown keeps saying the same freaking thing

 

[Echoloc8]

Hey, I wonder how many legislative days got burnt up by Democrat obstructionism... Just askin'.

-Rich.

 

[MTate37]

Oh my god my brain is going to explode! Somebody please zap this guy.

 

[MTate37]

At what point on the posted order of business will the bills on the SOC be discussed?

 

[homebrewdad]

At what point on the posted order of business will the bills on the SOC be discussed?

I'd like to know that, too.

 

[isleofman]

I'd like to know that, too.

Same. I don't understand what they are doing now.

 

[Echoloc8]

At what point on the posted order of business will the bills on the SOC be discussed?

I believe it's the very next segment, i.e., after committee reports are finished.
