So now the debt limit has been raised. Everyone except a Chinese rating agency feels that our AAA rating is secure in the short term anyway. And most imperative, the hunt is on to pick a WINNER. Why? That one I can't figure. The extreme right seems to have held the political process hostage for some obscure kindergarten reason and taken somber delight in the act. To quote the reporter (supposedly HL Menken) in 'Inherit the Wind', ''...while they coo and bellow...". I personally would have felt a lot better if the centrists had left things alone and let Mr. Obama invoke the 14th Amendment. And I'm not sure why save for the fact that I really don't like a bunch of assholes of both genders telling everyone what to do, or not do, with their plumbing, their lives, and their political will. And it nauseates and infuriates me to be forced to take the side of those wanting an abortion. I really don't pretend to know what is right on that one; I'd rather not think about it. BUT again there's the fact that some jerk or jerkette feels the urge to Pontificate (pun intended) on the subject as though they and only those like them are privy to some higher moral information. I have no idea what God is like, but it would be great to watch as one of those assholes finds out that the deity is dressed in drag. THAT would be worth any admission short of my Immortal soul.
So for right now we can sit back, watch TV (yup too much of that), and wait for the next shoe to drop. It's so much easier than getting involved.
