Your thought for the day
Apparently, Washington is getting closer to an agreement on the continuing resolution and the debt ceiling. Meanwhile, they’re working furiously to fix problems revealed with the ACA rollout.

Terrible Tuesday: Breathing room
Last week, Little Miss was discharged from occupational therapy, which means we have an extra hour on Tuesday.

You had one job, Congress, and you blew it.
