Dems going there...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/post/happy-hour-roundup/2011/03/03/AFuo1gbG_blog.html

* It’s on, part two: Senate Dems will move forward tomorrow with their plan to call the GOP’s bluff on the deficit and gas prices. Per the Senate Dem release:

Tomorrow, Senators Bob Menendez, Sherrod Brown and Claire McCaskill will announce the introduction of the Close Big Oil Tax Loopholes Act, which will put an end to taxpayer handouts to the 5 largest oil companies making record profits and use the savings to reduce the deficit.

ICYMI: Why Republicans don’t sweat the politics of this battle.

1. So sorry to ask:

What does ICYMI stand for? I can't stand sitting here to trying to figure it out any more..."In Case You Might Itch", "In Case You're Michigan"?

Thanks! :)
