This might all be quite amusing except that I’m hogtied in the trunk of the car. So are you. I’ve been doing my best to think about other things than the debt ceiling over the last 36 hours, but it’s beginning to look like Speaker Boehner is going abdicate any responsibility for passing something that can become law, which means he’s gambling that if he simply runs out of time he can blame the Democrats, the Senate, and the president for not acceding to his every unreasonable demand. He really is not very good at his job. A brick on the accelerator, indeed.
Except, maybe, things are not as they seem. Let us hope.
