Having had a cup of coffee, let me clarify: Sometime in the last 48 hours, I heard a report on NPR that said that that's exactly what happened. They stuck the bailout into an odds-and-ends bill that happened to be active in the Senate. They did lard it up with a few things -- the AMT provision, for instance -- but the Boy Scout Archery Act or whatever the hell this is was already in the old bill.
