Surprise! (Not)

   Late Saturday evening, Congress and the President said they agreed on a budget for the new fiscal year, just in time to avoid defaulting on payments for health benefits, government salaries and pensions for millions of Americans.
   Now they can brag about how hard they all worked on holiday weekend nights to prevent a government shutdown.
   Never mind that this could have been resolved many weeks ago. But that would prevent politicians from bragging about their hard work in the final few hours.
   Heaven forfend.
   What would society be without its quota of bragging politicians?
