Senate Breaks Unemployment Log Jam

Woke up this morning to some good news. It looks like the Republicans were tired of Senator Bunning, the esteemed Senator from Kentucky (see earlier post) making an ass out of himself and the Republican party.

One of my favorite lines from Senator Bunning, "I don't think I've spent this much time on the floor in any one week, period, in my life." Really, Senator? Really? Maybe that was the whole problem. If you'd bothered to spend more time on the floor working for your state, then maybe you wouldn't be such an ass now.
