It's about as miserable as an episode of The Killing here in Colorado. The rain hasn't stopped all week. We've had a closed airport, washed out roads and leaky ceilings.

But at least I'm not in D.C. where:

The House launched their best – if ultimately futile – attack on the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act with their vote to delay funding the subsidies until the administration comes up with a better way to verify applicant income. Remember, another one of Obama's quieter summer delays came in the form of pushback on income eligibility verification. This marks the 41st vote by the House to repeal, defund, or dismantle the health reform law. And despite a few Pyrrhic victories along the way, the losing streak should remain intact. Again, I appreciate their resolve, I just wished they were able to channel all that energy into something more productive than the word "no."
