Delaware Avenue. We each got two candles that were two for the price of one.

In big news outside the Christmas Bible the house rejected the senates pension reform bill. It was a pretty whopping defeat. The bill only got 50

Happy Butters

votes out of the 203 representatives in the house. It looks like

At My Place

the budget framework that was worked out is going to go down to defeat and they're gonna have to

My "Studio"

pass a stopgap bill. The much discussed pension bill went down to defeat! Looks like no budget before Christmas.  It's now 6 o'clock this happened about four hours ago. I am really surprised at the
