    There's progress in Washington. Is it all because of polls showing that the public hates the shutdown? Republicans are getting the blame, according to a Wall Street Journal/NBC poll. And a Gallup poll says only 18% of Americans are satisfied with the way the nation is being governed. But now, Republican Congressman Paul Ryan proposes a compromise that even Bob Scheer loves. And Matt Miller talks with Tea Party Republican Congressman Steve King. In other news, Janet Yellen is the first woman to lead the Fed. A New York Times magazine article shows tense times for Dick Cheney and George Bush.
