Of course this is all election theater.

Unfortunately they've decided that maintaining the theater is more important than compromising and gaining a RINO label.

I admit a little part of me is curious to see what would happen if the ceiling wasn't raised in time.  If it weren't for the small problem of having to live through whatever the consequences might be, it is an interesting economic experiment.

I'm already feeling the affects in the job market. No contractor wants to hire right now due to uncertainty over whether they'll get paid or see their customer's budget get slashed.

I don't care either way, I'm hedged thanks to the bet with Yi.

I sort of am too, since $80 will be worth less after a default. :P

The dumbest thing is that all the state keep their territorial integrity. We will take back the Ohio delta!

Looks like I guessed right.
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
