A Happy Sentence

Been awhile since a sentence about American politics made me as happy as this one did:

"Facing withering criticism from across the political spectrum and abandoned by Senate allies, House Republicans bowed to political reality Thursday and agreed to a two-month extension of a payroll tax cut for 160 million Americans."

So we've got a payroll tax-cut extension, and the House GOP shoots itself in the ass in a way that the public actually notices getting there.

It's a Christmas miracle...
