1. >Republic Windows and Doors Bought

   Chalk one up for the bailout! The government picks up the ball with taxpayer money after the private sector drops it. Green technology + solid, well paying jobs.

   Take that Republic! I’m glad this story has a happy ending.

2. Schock was on the edge of the aisle for the Not the State of the Union speech enabling him to get in the pix as the President walked the aisle. anyone catch how long Schock sat in chairs waiting to keep that prime space? there was a news feature on members who did the absurd wait, including MC Kucinich, so we could imagine that Schock’s wait was long.
