Shew! An extension of unemployment benefits has passed

After a long period of political wrangling by Sen. Bunning of Kentucky, the Senate has passed an extension of unemployment benefits for the millions of people out of work and out of benefits in our country (oh, and by a large margin, I might add). "No Show" Burr? Once again on the losing side and once again an embarrassment to our state.

The 78-19 vote on the 30-day extension known as H.R. 4691 came minutes after the Kentucky Republican made a final plea on the floor of the Senate for his colleagues not to borrow the money

Um ... yeah ... Burrski was one of the 19. Lovely, huh? One more nail in his coffin, me thinks.
