sad day friends, the jobs bill I was talking up yesterday apparently failed in the senate thereby crushing my dreams. just another day in our nations sadly divided capitol.
from the WaPo: "Obama's revised plan failed on a 50-50 test vote that fell well short of the 60 needed to break a filibuster. Three Democrats abandoned Obama on the vote and two more who voted with the president said they couldn't support the underlying Obama plan unless it's changed."
lest I leave you in a sad place at the start of the weekend, however, NYMag brings us this fantastic, giggle inducing republican debate (what, they had another one?) recap. Thank you, Michelle Bachman's stylist is really all i can say. Read it at http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2011/10/cnn_debate_summary.html
