Highs in the eighties.<br /><br /><b>NO METRO DELAYS</b><br /><b><br /></b><br /><b>THE BIG STORY</b>: They're at it again.&nbsp; Congress is back...big deal...First order of business is try to avert another government shutdown. It's all over disaster relief ---- and how to help people affected by earthquakes, hurricanes, forest fires, tornadoes...sadly, the list goes on. The House passed a measure but tied to it a stipulation that money spent has to be connected to cuts in an another area. Does this sound very debt ceilingish? The Senate won't go along..and has blocked a Republican measure to fund all over government through November 18th. Both sides are trying to figure out a compromise.<br /><br /><b>SYRIA SERIOUSNESS</b>: Rumblings of a possible revolt in Syria. Neighbors Lebanon and Israel and even Turkey nervous.<br /><b><br /></b><br /><b>AFGHAN TROUBLE: </b>Another American killed today by Taliban forces.<br /><br /><b>SPORTS:</b> The Nats won again over the Braves. The Red Sox beat the Yankees in14 innings and split a twin-bill. They lead in the wildcard race over the Rays by a game. Tonight they square off against the Orioles. And the Redskins take&nbsp; on the Cowboys in Dallas.<br /><br /><br /><b>Les Kretman</b>&nbsp; <br /><br /><br />'<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5579211056401023481-5965015855584334025?l=13thurs.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>les kretmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01778538953557792410noreply@blogger.com0
