Want to revisit the FAA shut down?
On a political blog, Mica from Florida blames the Democrats, and the freepers showed up to sing back-up choir for him:

But in his “Front and Center” appearance at the Sentinel today, the House transportation committee chairman said “Absolutely not,” when asked whether he shared any responsibility for the recent partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration, which cost the government hundreds of millions of dollars and effectively suspended jobs for 74,000 workers. Mica blamed the shutdown on the Democrat-run Senate.

1. Budget deals have to originate in the House....
...so, if there wasn't a logical, crazy-free bill coming out of it, how can the Senate be held responsible?
