It's a slow news day, because the oil-bought Senate Repubs are shirking their responsibility to hold hearings on the legislation, which the House has sent over, in good faith.  The house has done their job and vetted legislation, which fixes AKs fiscal problems.  The R's are stalling, thinking everyone will give up and go home, at the behest of their owners.  
If only they were merely worthless, and not inflicting irreversible damage on AK.
