I proclaim it officially the week end. Let the tone of posts reflect the proclamation.

6. Corey Booker won, federal workers (including my bro) are back to normal

Head Start is funded, the veterans have their memorial back. I wonder how many people will visit the memorial now that it is open. The politicians should go year round, not just for publicity.

We may never know the chaos of a default, thanks to Harry Reid. We won't see a shutdown for a long time thanks to the Democrats holding the line behind President Obama, Reid and Pelosi. Somehow Pelosi kept her caucus from voting for the piece meal bills, Boehner could take a lesson from her.

As the politicians talk about raiding social security and blocking immigration reform, I can appreciate that everything in the U.S. is status quo for now.

Thank goodness for the weekend. I am ready for some football. Thanks for the post.
