Priorities

Harry has them:

Washington (CNN) -- Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nevada, said Friday morning that the abortion issue is the lone remaining stumbling block for negotiators trying to reach a budget agreement that would prevent a government shutdown.

Assuming that the Democrats are the ones who are for them*, it is enlightening that the Democrats are admittedly willing (even threatening) to impose upon the nation all the horrible things a government shutdown entails**, in order to preserve that particular spending.

* Or at least for giving your money to pay for them.
** Mostly over-dramatic speeches and news coverage of the shutdown of national parks and the delay of some tax refunds. I actually saw a 'Countdown to Shutdown' last night, complete with an animated countdown clock, which provided me with a stark reminder of why I no longer watch TV news.
