I know everyone things I am too pessimistic about a political solution ....

Weisshaupt, this "everyone" doesn't.  I happen to agree.

Me too. Your disheartenment is well earned. This Sunday morning finds me soaked from the pundits and would-be political experts who have whizzed down my back and told me it was raining (it actually is raining, but that's typical for around here ;)

So many are trying to desperately to tell me that this is such a great deal and "we won!" and Øbomba lost!" and all I can determine is that the deal ensures our bankruptcy. It's criminally negligent. It's like saying, "Your car weighs too much to get the gas mileage we require so we removed the brakes". They have no idea if it'll solve one problem (the fake default crisis) but it is guaranteed to create other, bigger ones.

Thank God I still know how to saw a board, hammer a nail, tend a garden, and shoot a gun.

Marco Rubio's speech in the Senate last night.

Sen. Rubio: "Save the Whole House or It Will All Burn Down"
We are so far past and beyond the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that the Colonists and Founders experienced and which necessitated the Revolutionary War that they aren’t even visible in the rear-view mirror.

And Senator Kerry (who served in Vietnam) thought he really zinged Rubio with his retort that those previous Democrat rejections of a debt ceiling increase were symbolic votes. It says much about the liberal mindset, that symbolism is just as good as substance.

It's time to start going all Preston Brooks on these turds. The false collegial comity as this ship-of-state zooms headlong towards the iceberg is starting to sound like our epitaph.

makes for an entirely new meaning of "it's for the children".
I'm not always engulfed in scandals, but when I am, I make sure I blame others.

Huh.

No bang after the door opens...
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.
