Well, I'll Be Darned...

In just the past couple of days, the Senate proposed the most pork-tastic omnibus spending bill we've ever seen, and then withdrew it after seeing that it had no chance of passing (even in the lame-duck Congress!) – and the GOP-Obama compromise tax bill passed both the Senate and the House with overwhelming bipartisan majorities.

I think I could be forgiven for thinking I'm having some kind of a dream.  I'm not sure if it's a nightmare or a good dream, but it surely doesn't seem like something that could happen in the real world!

Some interesting commentary here and here...
