Should a guy have to search through a 6,000+ post thread to find the final vote tally of this extremely important breaking news?

This is the new media, sometimes events like this need a 2nd or even 3rd thread to clarify important points of the overall discussion.

He should have followed up the title with "House Republicans grow a spine, first time for this session."

Another one who hasn't ever thought about punching in at the end.

If the other 70,000 of us can find out the number without putting up a thread about it, why are you people so special?

Ahhh, yes, can't have good news without the obligatory idiocy.

I agree with what you had to say. The final vote was too important to put at the end of a thread -- I certainly would have missed it.

This vote kept two Congressman from being at our Banquet tonight so that is the first thing I wanted to see when I got home -- the outcome of the vote.
