"Random Rules" - Silver Jews
I do not know what to make of the state of the debt ceiling talks. I find myself wondering about what is eleven dimensional chess and what is sheer folly, and it is starting to seem a giant waste of energy. It seems possible to me that Reid has a smart play in mind, but I continue to doubt the ability to get anything past the wreckers in the House.
I wanted to point out this David Ignatius column in the Post yesterday, which continues the stupid "angry centrist" meme, somehow comparing the hacking of a dead girl's phone with the debt ceiling vote. Sloppy or non-existent thinking appears to be no bar to getting a column at either the Post or the Times.
What do you see happening out there?
