Of course, no Republican has ever abused the Senate's conspicuous absence of a germaneness requirement for debate (outside of post-cloture periods). No, they'd <a href="http:\/\/farmfutures.com\/blogs.aspx\/non-germane-amendments-hold-farm-bill-hostage-3341" target="_blank">never do that</a>.

Then after that, it would get <em>very</em> cold.
