August 2nd is the projected time for the money running out, right?

Will the debt ceiling be raised in time? Yes/ no? And why do you think so? And then what will happen?

On the last day. Do I still get 100:1 odds, DG?

Tea Partiers probably want to intentionally stick it to the Chinese debt holders.

Yes, they will do it and with all the theater and glory reminiscent of Rome. With the exception of assassinations of course.

QuoteAnd why do you think so?
Neither party wants to commit political suicide.

QuoteAnd then what will happen?
Life will go on as usual until they cook up some other crisis.

I see them all in their glory and pagentry. There on the hill, with their buildings of white stone and marble. So beautiful, yet so corrupt. Once a bright fire now nothing more than a fading ember. Oh Rome, Oh Rome........ :blurgh: :blurgh: :blurgh: :blurgh: :blurgh:

I'm starting to suspect not unfortunately.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

If it doesn't, you are to blame.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Ohio?  Illinois?  Kansas?  Michigan?

Of course this is all election theater.

To be cunning and vicious is a fairly obvious shortcut to total victory.

You'll have to pay more taxes tho, about 50% more.
