All I can say is, I hope this passes fairly quickly and NASA is able to continue funding FIRST in 2014.

I'm rather disappointed that Congress has handled the entire thing with the maturity of a high school freshman procrastinating on an essay. One would think that we would have voted them out once they became so dysfunctional that they had to deliberately tie themselves to a metaphorical timebomb to get anything done. Except even with the timebomb they still failed to be remotely productive and pressed the metaphorical snooze button for a year while they got themselves reelected. And when the year had passed and 90% were in their same desks, they hit snooze and presumably watched Jersey Shore for another 3 months before finally just letting the bomb explode.
