3. Sweet revenge.

Remember a while back that Obama was getting screwed because the Senate was going to remain in session in order to keep Obama from making recess appointments? How's that for biting you in the ass Republicans?

Mr. Leader is playing hardball! I bet surviving the Wacko Angle NDE infused new life into him.

7. Here's hoping.

Harry needs to grow a set of balls because the House can no longer pick up the Senate slack. It's time to play hardball and call these Republicans on their slimy tactics or we can look forward to the Republicans making a potentially successful bid to take both houses of Congress next election.
