Now that the 110th Democratic Congress is in session, funding CAN be cut off, after the end of this month. Beginning in February, Bush plans on asking for more money. Let's see how it all plays out and then start with the condemnations. If Congress doesn't say no at that point, I'll be angry as hell, too.
