Senate Passes Payroll Tax Bill Over Broad GOP Opposition | TPMDC

I've mixed feelings about this tax 'cut' since it reduces funds going to Social Security, which can only add, down the road, to arguments that the program is underfunded, blah blah blah, but I think in the current economic situation, it's probably justified and am pleased that a) Obama and Congress were able to get it done and b) that the Repugs folded like a cheap card-table!

Democratic Women Boycott House Contraception Hearing After Republicans Prevent Women From Testifying | AlterNet

My neighbor, Darrell, the World's Worst Repug, is holding a hearing concerning the 'raging' birth control debate (hey, it's raging in their heads, if no where else!) How many women were invited to testify? You got it. ZERO. When asked to include one, Mr. Issa declined the opportunity to hear from the horse's ummmm mouth... ;)
