It's only for six months, folks.

Anyone who thinks we can heave a deep sigh of relief because a budget capitulation by the Democrats deal was made should think again, because this budget only funds the government for six more months, after which it all starts up again.

So Lawrence O'Donnell reading an e-mail about the value of Planned Parenthood the other night is still important:

Lawrence O'Donnell used to be so "reasonable" that he was on Morning Schmoe at least once a week. Now he's practically bursting into tears at what he has to report about what is happening to our country under the bullying of mean-spirited, ugly, greedy, treasonous Republicans and spineless, weak, craven Democrats.

Must be the eight o'clock spot.
