I’m forever trying to conserve the ink in my printer so that I don’t spend a small fortune on cartridges. So, when I found Ecofont, I did a little private dance of joy.

Every Friday morning, Daily Kos compiles stats showing how the folks in Washington are doing according to the people. Despite Republicans tripping over themselves to take credit for the economic stimulus act, it seems the American people aren’t buying it:
We've had to extend the graph downward to accommodate the Congressional Republicans slapping themselves on the back for being unified as the Party of No. They don't get it yet, and neither does insular Washington. Remember these are ... read on »
