Not entirely on topic, but since it's come under fire from conservatives lately, can I just get a w00t w00t for NPR and actual-factual reporting?

Wasn't the third option "or the democrats will collapse and fold because of their jelly spines and give the republicans whatever they want" again?

Of course it will mean an increase in revenue...until the Repugs say 'no.' Then the Dems will do their usual whining before giving in.

Well, this is promising, at least. Not getting my hopes up that it'll actually happen, but at least someone in the Democratic party is showing evidence of a spine.
