  5. A new Commission on Political Reform tries to revive bipartisanship

    You know there's something wrong in Congress when something widely viewed as a worst-case scenario happens and yet there's no rush to try to change course. That's the case with the "sequester," the across-the-board reduction in spending that was meant to prod lawmakers to compromise on a smarter and more effective plan to improve the federal government's finances. Although Congress had more than a year and a half to avert it, the sequester went into effect March 1, drawing catcalls from Democrats and Republicans alike but no visible movement toward an alternative.

It needed a fighter and found one in Koch, a well-practiced pol with the determination &mdash; and bite &mdash; of a bulldog.

  12. Unemployment rate unchanged, ditto for economic uncertainty

    The December jobs <a href="http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm">report</a> released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that the economy remained in low gear, with private employers continuing to add jobs just slightly faster than the number of new workers seeking them.
