Gargoyle, I read your link, however it only describes the current situation, and has an argument for the extension....but it does not say that the extension is a done deal. Songwronger's link was to the socialist web site, reporting that somehow they are privy to the outcome, which says that the WH gave in and folded on the matter.
today on the news, it sounded like there's going to be a compromise. I didn't get all the details, but it sounded like a 'give and take', but I didn't catch the status of the unemployment extensions. Ask Don...he'll make it up if he doesn't know for sure..and you'll probably like it....I think.

GfS

P.S. I don't drink, but rarely...and it better be good!
