in those shows, the same as Full house of family matters of whatnot, they have to recap what the episode was about, and I do not like that. They are all the same.

Wow, you are seriously overblowing an already overblown title.

Here's an oversimplified rendition of the steps healthcare reform will need to go through:

House:

1. Bill introduced in House (complete)
   
2. Bill referred to each House committee with jurisdiction (complete)
   
3. Bill voted on and reported by House committees (complete)
   
4. Bill opened to amendments in the full House
   
5. Bill voted on by full House
   

Senate:

1. Bill drafted by each Senate committee with jurisdiction (50% complete)
   
2. Bills voted on by Senate committees (50% complete)
   
3. Bills introduced in the Senate
   
4. Bills merged/selected from on floor of Senate
   
5. Bill opened to amendments in full Senate
   
6. Bill subjected to permanent Republican filibuster, requiring 60 votes to invoke cloture
   
7. Bill voted on by full Senate, requiring 51 votes to pass
   

Inevitably the two bills will be different, at which point you have...

Conference committee:

1. Lots of backroom arm twisting and horse trading
   
2. Conference committee reaches a compromise agreement on the bill
   
3. Bill reintroduced in House
   
4. Bill voted on in the House
   
5. Bill reintroduced in Senate
   
6. Bill subjected to permanent Republican filibuster, requiring 60 votes to invoke cloture
   
7. Bill voted on by full Senate, requiring 51 votes to pass
   

The easiest way to guarantee the public option makes it to the final bill? Make sure it's in all the bills coming out of all the committees. It's in the House bill that's cleared the committees. It's in the Senate H.E.L.P. committee bill. The Senate Finance committee seems to be stalled by Max Baucus trying really hard to see how angry he can make Democrats by trying (in vain) to get Republican support for his version of the bill.

Despite that, the latest draft still has a public option, though it's the watered-down co-op version.

Right now I'm feeling pretty good about the public option making it into the final bill, because I think if there's a strong public option in the House bill (and I'm essentially certain it will be in the House bill that goes to conference), and the two drafts entering the Senate both have a public option (one strong, one weak), chances are the conference committee bill will include a strong public option.

Democrats might still trade away the public option in some stupid pursuit of a token Republican Senate vote, but at this stage I doubt they will.

Durbin's statement sounds like he's mimicking the Obama line on the topic; he wants a public option, but won't draw a hard line in the sand about it before the negotiations have really begun. Right now we're just working on foreplay as far as the politics are concerned. The real negotiations will happen once we've found out what the Senate can pass.

Or maybe, in the Step-by-Step continuity, Steve Erkel merely cameoed on the TV show that is Full House. Problem solved.

I don't think John Stamos even knows how to play guitar.

Oh yeah, and in the video, he's always playing/holding/caressing the same one of the twin "Full House's Jesse" babies. You just can't tell.

Full House!

Another full house.

This is typical of his act, Although he was much better on Full House than he was on Americas funiest Videos, he always be will be a total dork.

And he should be shot for fucking Alanis Morissette when she was underage and he was 30something.

It jumps the shark when one of the Olson Twins starts sleeping with Lance Armstrong. Lazy writing..

Not great poker from Hudson. He was probably putting Farha on a lone Ace. The only thing Farha would have called a bet that big with was A-10 or A-A, both of which are the nuts, so gong all-in achieved nothing. Having already shon strength, he should have called, hoping that Farha wouldn't hit his kicker for the full house.

That said, Farha wouldn't have had much trouble getting Hudson to put the rest of his money in in the following rounds of betting. A pro might have gotten away from it.

Oliver Hudson and Sam Farha should be in the tags before Kate Hudson should, and gambling should be spelled right.

I think it's safe to say that the bull had a full-house, and everyone else had a low pair...

He's got a lot of "dirty" to make up for all those years on Full House and America's Funniest Videos.

Yeah, this hand is very silly.

Also, the showing of the cards is all wrong on the end. They go in the totally wrong order. Bond should show first, then the guy with the full house, for the last side pot. Then the big black guy should show for his part of the 1st side pot. Then the first guy should show for the main pot.

Also, in no casino in the world, do they move aside 2 cards and put your cards on the board to show the final hand - I suppose that was done so the non-poker playing viewers would be able to read the hands.
