>>> and, as we told you just a few moments ago, this breaking news, the house has now passed the extension of the u.s. debt limit to may 19th with a vote of 285 to 144. some strings attached. if they don't work out a budget before then, they'll be holding up their own pay. how about that? now, of course, moves on to the senate for final passage.
