This has been one crappy ass week.
Edited on Thu Jan-21-10 02:50 PM by Bleacher Creature
Not sure it deserves a thread of its own, but it just hit me how truly awful the last couple of days has been. Between the MA fiasco (and subsequent retreat of HCR), today's SCOTUS ruling and the decision by Blanche Lincoln to help the GOP block the EPA's regulation of CO2 as a greenhouse gas -- I'm not sure I've ever been this frustrated. Seriously, ever.

7. But
