If you were wondering how that clusterfuck in the New York Assembly was going - you know ... the one that derailed MMA in New York this year - then check this out.
Shortly before noon on Tuesday, as Democrats prepared to convene what they expected to be another fruitless one-party session, they saw Frank Padavan, a Queens Republican, walk through the rear of the chamber.

Mr. Padavan would later say he had simply been taking a shortcut to the members' lounge to grab a cup of coffee. But to the 31 Democrats in the chamber, that did not matter. Claiming that Mr. Padavan's brief presence gave them the 32-member quorum required to gavel the Senate into session, Democrats began ramming through dozens of measures, including sales tax extensions and bond authorizations that were set to expire at midnight.

By the time the Democrats adjourned, Mr. Padavan's coffee run had thrust the Capitol into a new round of recriminations and legal debate. Democrats insisted that the bills had been lawfully passed, Republicans denounced the session as fraudulent and inappropriate, and Gov. David A. Paterson suggested that he would not sign the bills into law.

I'd find this to be hilarious if it wasn't standing in the way of my MMA in NYC. Oh and some other stuff regarding jobs, the economy, social services, public schooling, and a bunch of other stuff the people in New York kinda sorta need dealt with too. But mainly I'm annoyed about the MMA thing.

They should all be fired and beaten with hoses.

The Democratic senator sponsoring the bill in the Senate has said a few times that he would like to pass the mma bill so that he can fight the Republicans in the cage in the center of the Senate chamber. He said he would like to fight one of the more elderly Republicans for control of the leadership. He said he would sell tickets to raise money for the state budget. He is also under indictment for punching a NYPost photog in the face.

He also told me there was a nice deaf kid named John from Buffalo or something who he really thinks should be allowed to fight. I told him his name was Matt.
