Scared yet?

Well, it looks like its going to happen. Story is here. We were starting to warm to this thing a little bit when reading that Pelosi agreed to drop the extension of unemployment benefits but... not to worry... the gentleman to Bush's left who does not look nearly as pleased as Pelosi has vowed to put it right back in there when this bill goes to the Senate. C'mon Harry, smile... you'll get yours.

When we addressed this originally, we thought this would be a perfect opportunity for Bush to browbeat Congress into making permanent his tax cuts. We were wrong... oh so wrong.

At any rate, we will be keeping a close eye on the vote tally, particularly that cast by a “principled” Senator from the great American desert south-west.
