A Positive Sign?

I thought I read this story incorrectly this morning, but no, I didn't. A group of 40 Republican lawmakers signed a letter along with 60 Democrats urging the Super-Committee to consider raising revenue. Those Republicans, by the way, had signed that stupid Grover Norquist no-tax-hike pledge.

You read that correctly. I double checked.

Can I allow myself to hope that the American people might have actually gotten the attention of Congress?
