Stealing another topic from The Nightowl Newswrap:
Repeat after us: Republicans blocked funding for the troops. Republican blocked funding for the troops. Republicans blocked funding for the troops. That's what happened today. The "Senate" didn't do anything. Republicans blocked funding for the troops. "US senators have rejected attempts to open a debate on a bill which included a provision allowing the repeal of the ban on openly gay military personnel. Just 56 senators voted in favour of debating the defence authorisation bill, four short of the 60 required. Gay people can serve in the military, but face expulsion if they reveal their sexuality. US President Barack Obama has promised to scrap the policy. Democrats could still try again later this year to pass the legislation."
Re-emphasized and enlarged for your convenience.
