TOAST 2 THAT / ALL THE BUZZ ON THE HOUSE

Today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters that the government will shut down on Friday, April 8. Reid said that he became less optimistic about a deal with Republicans after Speaker Boehner insisted that language prohibiting federal funding for abortion be published in the spending bill. Well, kids, here goes nothing! On Friday, April 8, the government will SHUT DOWN! I hope you weren't counting on that refund check, either. If you were, you should know that the IRS will halt the processing of all paper refund checks until the government is up and running again. I know, sucks for me, too!
