Mr. Boehner’s announcement lessened the chance of a government shutdown because Republican leaders joined by Democrats will almost certainly go forward with a short-term funding measure to keep the government operating, and the speaker will no longer be deterred by those who threatened his job.

I guess we'll find out next week. I'm not very optimistic that Planned Parenthood will survive this Koch-driven assault.

Proven wrong already.

My record stands unblemished!
