— Dave in Texas I'm thinkin it must be his "puffy week".
The only reasonable people in the room, Democrats, who are being more than fair even though he thinks they should stoppit already, keep negotiating with these stupid Republicans who are holding the nation hostage with their "demands" and "concerns" and massive wave of public support.
Damn them. (NYT link, no need to read, it's typically obtuse Krug)
The facts of the crisis over the debt ceiling aren’t complicated. Republicans have, in effect, taken America hostage, threatening to undermine the economy and disrupt the essential business of government unless they get policy concessions they would never have been able to enact through legislation. And Democrats — who would have been justified in rejecting this extortion altogether — have, in fact, gone a long way toward meeting those Republican demands.
The "long ways" include Presidential intransigence and petulant threats from Harry Reid about bills that are dead on arrival. This is how you go a long way toward meeting demands. By saying "hellsno" to all of them.
Incidentally, there's a buried joke in there. "concessions they would never have been able to enact through legislation". He's writing about a process we've been enduring and fussin about called "legislation". As if Republicans are trying to capture these so-called "concessions" through voodoo and mind-control.
Last time I checked, it's still legislation (ugly though it may be).
If only the Nobel committee had an award for "Whining Hyperbole".
If. Only.

"Crisis over the debt ceiling?"
No, you dunce. We have a spending and debt crisis, not a debt-ceiling crisis.

We'll look back on this as The Crisis That Never Came
It'll be added to the scrapheap of other crises that never materialized.

The long game crowd has agreed to let us slip $2.5T more into the abyss...a bet on the come on the 2012 elections.
But, already today we see Scott Brown doing what RINO's do and reminding all of us that even 51 "R's" in the Senate means nothing because lots of R's like big government. They don't want real cuts and will have to be forced, with nuclear option threats, to cut. And even then, they won't cut.
This is why, we must, IMO, maximize every opportunity to cut, cut, cut, and cut. REAL FNG CUTS.
And we didn't do that. Doom lurches closer.

HAIL MARX! probably. After all, there isn't that much difference between National Socialism and Communism.
About the Captain America movie, I didn't mind the lack of swastikas in the movie. But it hit me yet again that while the swastika is (rightfully) seen as a symbol of pure evil and treated with revulsion, the hammer and sickle, representing a system of government that has caused more pain and suffering than even the Third Reich, is still not afforded the same infamy as the swastika.

Fission bombs and nuclear reactors (as we presently operate them) release the binding energy in the nucleus of "degenerate" matter, i.e. somewhat unstable nuclear isotopes like Uranium 235.
Fusion bombs (and the Sun and visible stars) release energy by conversion of energy to matter.

Reid wins, puts every insane thing he want to put in the bill, and it will still be called the 'boehner bill' in the press. Good job. We told you so.

I'm a Laurel and Hardy guy.
The Piano Movers is the greatest comedy bit in old-school comedy history.

Well, History was threatening on the other thread. Threatening all of us. It was going to judge us harshly.
This History, is she a bitch or what? Is this a booty call or something else?

Could it be possible to put together a more cocksuckiing, ass-dribbling trio of detestability than Reid, Durbin, and Schumer?
Even if you were given Pelosi, Howard Dean and a trade to be named later?
No, no it wouldn't.

Wow. You're getting better at this, Spambot. It's kind of spooky. Nevertheless... not enough lesbianism.

Blow me G~Bob. I'm typing while angry, and I was trying to introduce you Morons to a really cool group of young Americans to listen to. I left the sock on by accident. Twice. Coz I want to reach through the screen and wring Harry Reids scrawny, corrupt, neck.

I think you've cornfused History with Destiny. History was the chatty, nagging bitch, always changing her story.
Destiny is the flirty tease that is trying to steal your wallet.

Jolly good show there repukes! Yay! I'm so glad the boner bill passed
Who will go on tv (nobody so far.. which shocks the shit out of me) and tell everyone that unless a balanced budget amendment was passed, we'd have near 30,000 billion in debt in 10 years at this rate?
Trillion needs to be eliminated from vocabulary. I don't think the drones think it means what it means. 30,000 billion. This bill cuts 1 billion this year from the deficit. the deficit isn't the debt.
get. the. picture. demtards?
Hello here we come detroit-america!! woohooo!!!

It's not you, it's me.
I want Republican senators flaying these bastards on TV for a change.
I'm also stuck in a place where I can't turn off MSNBC and I'm getting really angry.
As soon as my phone is charged, I'm gonna listen to those kids again, reeel loud.

The debt raise was baked in the cake. It's the bill for all of the spending previous Congress' have done. Past tense. Imagine you're hired to clean up a company in debt. Can you automatically throw out the bills?
If Reid comes up with a reasonable offer (big spending cuts and no tax increases), the House should pass it. But if their proposal isn't reasonable? Fuck it.
Not a chance in hell Reid's proposal will be acceptable to anyone here, but, the Right being the responsible party, they will pass something and kick the can.
When the economy implodes, Obama's poll numbers will be in the 30s and at that point Michele Bachmann or Sarah Palin could win the general election.
The left is gaming that the fallout would primarily damage the right. And they are probably right. The question is are you willing to risk it? And if you are, how confident are you in the nature of the voting public?

What?! No "gun to the head" talk? Just "hostage"? This new tone sucks. I thought if you wanted mega-violent imagery, you could keep your mega-violent imagery. This is mere B+ rated imagery.

You know, when someone calls me a "hostage-taking terrorist" before trying to sell me a used car, I tell them to shove that car up their ass. But that's just me.
