1. The MSM were pretty good at burying it.

I just saw a tiny line about it. At first I thought it was just an old story about the 1 week "patch" they passed on Friday, but then I saw that it was about the House today passing the Senate's long term bill funding DHS through September--without conditions. That is a huge cave.

Here's ABC's story title:

Congress Sends Homeland Bill to Obama Without Conditions
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/homeland-funding-appears-track-minus-immigration-add-ons-29345768

But that story title would be identical for the 1 week "patch." Shouldn't the headline be "House Passes Homeland Funding Through September"? Or better yet, "House Caves on Homeland Funding."
