US Senate Takes Leisurely Course to Shutdown

Maybe it's a strategic move, but after the US House worked over the weekend, you'd think the Senators would be eager to send the rejected budget bill back to the House, but maybe they're smarter than me, I dunno.  I would venture to guess it will become a joke topic on the late night shows, the Democrats left themselves open to ridicule.  Just for the record, I think they deserve ridicule for that.
