Their 2 1/2-Day Week is Just About Over,

and the Senate still hasn't done shit about extended unemployment benefits:

“We have wanted to do this for weeks and they won’t let us,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, told reporters yesterday. “We talk about doing something for economic recovery to stimulate the economy -- who is going to spend the money more quickly than somebody who is out of a job, doesn’t have income? That’s what the unemployment check’s about.”


Why won't the minority "let" you do anything, Harry?
