100 Hours Down, 8660 To Go

Let's put this baby to rest. The energy bill was passed today, bringing the sleepy 100 hours of the new democratic congress to a close. It was more than 100 hours altogether, but let's not expect them to work holidays. Or weekends. Or 5 days a week.

I promise, this is the last time this checklist will ever appear on Naked Debt.
