Just a bit.  First Y2K, then the Mayans, then Congress.  If the Apocalypse were a pizza, we'd all be owed the next one for free.

More like the next 10 for free.  I have been let down so many times now, I don't care if armageddon ever happens.  Hell, you didn't even mention the millenialists, and I for one can't blame you.

Strangely enough, I was going to say "or the next 10", but decided to grab a drink instead.

I also didn't mention the 6/6/6 bunch, or the Iranian Tanker of Doom people.

Now I know the deal was as good as we could accomplish.

Nobody's happy with it.

Who the hell thought asking Richard Haas about the financial situation was a good idea?  It's not worth asking him about foreign policy, and he's the president of the CFR.

Well, when NOBODY knows what to do, what's the harm in asking an idiot?

I just bristle at the idea of Mr "Lets use the Iranian Green Movement as an Armed Resistance" being taken seriously about anything, ever.

Well, we can just take into account the fact that the people taking him seriously are idiots, too.  Basically, you have a mindless media asking mindless assholes impossible questions.

I appreciate the humor in this notion, the same as I appreciate the humor in watching teabagger po'buckers propose ideas to fuck themselves up the ass fix the economy.

The Wall Street Journal seems to be making bad suggestions.  That surprises me since I remembered them being reasonably sensible when the Republicans were pulling their initial hostage taking over the debt ceiling.

You're on crack.  The WSJ has been a Murdock rag for years.

QuoteSo the supposed moment of bipartisan satori that supposedly culminated with the House's action last night has increased the already formidable sentiment within both parties to make the upcoming confrontation One for the Ages. I would guess that by sundown today about 95% of the Republicans in both Houses who voted for the "cliff" bill will have made public statements swearing bloody vengeance on the Welfare State in exchange for an increase in the debt limit. And even before the deal was sealed in the Senate, the president was already vowing not to make the concessions Republicans will demand.

I think my favorite part of all this is how Boehner pissed off Peter King (which granted is probably really easy to do) by not taking up the Sandy disaster aid bill before the session ended. 
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

I may have had them confused with some other mouthpiece for the upper class.

I think the House GOP have made an enemy for life in Peter King.  And he's not wrong when he talks about how New York is constantly funding projects out of state, but as soon as they want some aid, suddenly the House Republicans are nowhere to be seen.
