Computers break and get old. There is nothing uncommon about replacing a basic necessity for the state to function.
To do so, we are going to need
a capital bill
a tax increase
a minimum of 5 no-bid contracts

Bruce, I want you to know… that I try. When Tim and the staff at the House tell me that I’m supposed to control my violent temper, and be passive and nonviolent like they are, I try. I really try. Though when I see this union… of such a beautiful spirit… so degraded… and this union… that I love… sprawled out by this big ape here… and this little union, who is so special to us we call her “God’s little gift of sunshine”… and I think of the number of years that she’s going to have to carry in her memory… the savagery of this idiotic moment of yours… I just go BERSERK!
