(CNN) - The Senate passed legislation Friday temporarily restoring full funding to the Federal Aviation Administration, breaking a political impasse and allowing roughly 4,000 furloughed federal employees to return to work.

The measure now advances to President Barack Obama to be signed into law.

    Republicans will howl like werewolves because their ideological cuts have been bypassed. Just remember this when they do, werewolves are evil incarnate and pretend to be real people by day.
