day 15: and the world hangs breathless on our fate

.


Playing poker is part of politics, as is theatrical posturing. That's fair enough. But what America is currently exhibiting is the worst kind of absurd theatrics. And the whole world is being held hostage.

it's fascinating to watch as a fat, complacent government grown used to kicking the can down the road is finally forced to deal with the consequences of decades of political expediency and make damned-if-it-does, damned-if-it-doesn't decisions.

and this is just the warm-up round, folks.

The warm up for what?

The Republicans are folding their tent on this one. They are going to approve the debt limit increase without so much as a whimper.

Then they are going to shut down the government starting October 1 to prove their point.
