The House has voted on the "companion" to the budget bill, but has yet to act on the "technical corrections" bill that fixes mistakes in various bills.

Among the must-have fixes: a typo that should have read $2,500 but instead read $1,250.

The pace is so painful that senators _ sitting by the side waiting for their House counterparts' changes _ are making motel reservations in anticipation that they won't want to be driving home at 11 p.m.
