Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is gearing up to possibly hold Saturday Senate sessions all the way into December, Roll Call reports:

Reid hopes to spend the bulk of the month on the Senate's health care reform bill, but the chamber also will need to complete the annual spending bills that fund the government. The current stopgap appropriations bill expires Dec. 18.

Democratic aides said Reid told Senators this week of the possibility of multiple Saturday sessions, and he has been seeking to line up Members to serve as the Senate's presiding officer on Saturdays.

WWWWHHHHHHAAAAT?????? What about finance reform, more stimulus, lobbying reform, cap and trade, all the other gd problems facing the country. Roll out the cots and make these mofos work 24/7 until the January 1 and get sh*t done. This is absurd. Healthcare reform should be done by mid november, three or four months too late by the way. What is he talking about december for? Come on get with the program.
