The people speak ...
... and Congress, finally, listens: All the anonymous holds have been dropped, and the S. 2590, the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 passed the Senate last night by unanimous voice vote. It still must be reconciled with its House version before being sent to the president, and there's very little time left in this congressional session. But at least the bill isn't being held up by mystery senators anymore. Bloggers of all political descriptions who smoked those senators out deserve all the credit for getting us to this point.
