Good. I’m glad no slippage there. Let’s see what the three stooges in the Senate do.

Senate Vote On Stimulus Expected
Posted by Tucker Reals| 18
The Senate is expected to vote on the economic stimulus package Friday evening, Sen. Harry Reid announced Thursday. The vote was expected to begin at about 7:00 p.m. Eastern.
A 60-vote threshold is required to pass the legislation long-sought by President Obama.
Democrats pushing for the plan’s passage now have the 60 votes they need, even without Sen. Ted Kennedy, who was not expected to attend the session. Fifty-seven Democrats are onboard, and three Republicans; Susan Collins, R-ME, Olympia Snowe, R-ME, and Arlen Specter, R-PA.
