Maybe some good will come of having a dsyfunctional congress unable to pass new legislation.

  While components of the federal budget have intense lobbying efforts dedicated to them, the budget as a whole doesn't. Which is why there's no incentive to pass a full budget: there's no bribery in it, and lots of political points to score by refusing and blaming the other guys. The copyright lobby, on the other hand, is a reliable bribe source every time they want something. So I'd expect an extension to just glide on through.

    Let's not get carried away! There are no bribes. These are merely campaign contribution. Legal campaign contributions.
