If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties - someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad; if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." - John F. Kennedy

Win One, Lose One
The House did something good today and something bad today. The good thing was killing the GOP effort to remove funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and unfortunately the bad thing was not extending the unemployment benefits authorization. Those people that have not used all their 99 weeks of benefits as of December aren't going to be able to it appears. Just hide and watch... now that that they have told the unemployed to fuck off and die they will debate the pros and cons of giving the wealthiest 2% of the country a continued tax break on all their income over $250,000.
