   Way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, Congressholes.

   No, the Senate isn’t. The BBA being proposed contains escape clauses during times of war or threats to national security. Seeing as how both Democrats and Republicans insist on keeping us in a perpetual state of war, it’s completely meaningless.

   Yes and no. Yes, because they have more important things to do with their time. But no, your link makes it sound like they are outlawing certain types of abortion, but the reality is they are merely ending government funding of certain types of abortion. A curious omission for a self-described libertarian (him, not you Stephen).

   Hardly evidence that they are losing their way.

   I think Joyner has the right of it when he calls this throwing crumbs to the social conservatives. From what I’ve read, it’s not likely to pass, and is hence more symbolic than real.

   Given that, I’m not too fussed about Congress so far. This is little stuff.
