As Chris Lien as said, the slick politicians use legislation to insert unrelated BS:
In a last-minute act of treachery, Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) has inserted a reauthorization of the moratorium on oil shale exploration into the Homeland Security appropriations bill.

I reported on the rumor last week… the latest is still somewhat ambiguous :
The rumor that State Senator Jim Alesi, who just won his seventh term, will desert the Republicans to join a new Democratic majority in the state senate remains a rumor.
But not one Alesi is eager to tamp down. Calls to his Rochester office Friday and this morning seeking a comment on the rumor were not returned.

A complaint from a right-wing blogger about a supposed "biased report in favor of Tim Johnson?" In fact, the Argus Leader article makes clear (quoting the guy who runs the nonpartisan survey) that Sen.
