Durbin just brought up making unemployment benefit extensions part of this deal.
Those are the seeds of the next crisis the Republicans are planning. I have a feeling anything to do with unemployment will probably not be addressed in this deal, so it can be used for more hostage-taking this Christmas!

Won't that be fucking great?!

3. Barbara Boxer is talking now, partly in response to his suggestion. She's...
...talking about the "made-up" crisis and how we desperately need the broader viewpoint, like Durbin's.

Really great stuff if you are in a position to watch it.
