That'll Do, Donkeys
The Obama tax increase failed, and the earmark-packed budget was pulled in favor of a continuing resolution.
It wasn't a perfect outcome—that would have involved torches and pitchforks, which is desireable nearly every time Congress is in session—but considering what the bitter, vengeful and outbound liberal caucus had hoped to ram through, it wasn't a bad night.
Not too terrible, all things considered.
Just have to pipe up and appreciate the blog-post title. I find myself saying that to my employees on a daily basis. That, and, "Good night. Good work. Sleep well; I'll likely kill you in the morning." of which that last sentiment would be a great way to end every session of Congress, were I in charge.

This would be the crowning achievement of the Republicans to thwart the final Reid/Pelosi/Obama agenda. Call all your Congresscritters and tell them very politely to vote NO!!!! to these last agenda items.

Posted by: Bram at December 17, 2010 01:13 PMWhat I want to know is what the Republicans had to agree to, in order to get Mr. Reid to climb down on this outrageous Budget bill. Did we have to agree to pass the START treaty, without proper discussion and debate? Or, God forbid, the DREAM act luring even more illegals to invade our country? Just what did we lose here, in order to terminate the Omnibus bill?

Currently, though, I'm trying to research and learn more about the old practice of tar and feather. It sounds like a fun time to be had by all.
Merry Christmas, even to those who might deserve some tar and feathers.
