Gosh it was nice to see senators Collins and Murkowski at work today praising just how hard everyone there was working towards a resolution to the government shut-down.  They just seemed so…. optimistic!

And knowing how honorable the Republicans are at keeping their word, I’m sure the talks would have happened anyway, even if Chuck Schumer hadn’t forced the issue.

I have never seem a party transition from obstinate to Kum Ba Yah in such a short period of time.  Miraculous, isn’t it?
