Rising Hegemon

Pretend talks will continue just as soon as Boehner gets rehydrated.

well I hope part of the narrowing of understanding came on his part... the understanding that Boner and sack don't have any intention of compromising, they want what they want... which is a gutting of all social programs, tax cuts for their wealthy friends and for Obama to not run for re-election... and they're prepared to take the country down with them unless Obama makes all those promises.
"Hey, Mr. Tangerine Man, shed a tear for me...
"I'm creepy and there ain't no Beck on teevee...."
when will they tell the teabags to get in line?
They are locked and loaded and can't wait for marching orders. Don't mean to sound anxious but this shutdown is going to be different than the Clinton shutdown.
They want this so badly to be Armageddon, or at least Showdown at the ok corral, something hollywoody & dramatic and all convincing to show they do have the power to control the media, the political debate, the House, the Supreme Court, what the matter is Amerika, we must have it all.
