While I agree leaving a sound

While I agree leaving a sound position in favor of the ridiculous would be playing into the hands of the GOPer's, standing one's ground make's one look just as foolish too. So I wonder if Obama had another plan that was stealthily planted that has yet to percolate to the surface? All that surrendering of public social services to appease the GOPer's may have been a decoy to distract the rabble-rousers as they were being steered into an enclosure of their own making. Perhaps Obama was engaging the GOPer's in a multi-dimensional game of chess knowing full well they were only playing the game in 2 dimensions? I just wonder if they secured the gate to the enclosure so once they GOPer's realize they're trapped in by their own devices, they can't escape?

hahahahahahahah

Actually, I was feeling nostalgic for the guillotines...but, ruling them out, I would have opted for the application of the material aid to terrorists statute, directed against the usual suspects...

Now, that's some crazy-ass shit!

The moral of the story is: just because being crazy has worked for the right, that doesn't mean it will work for the left. Having one crazy side is bad. Having two crazy sides is worse. I'm not trying to define crazy. If you think something isn't crazy, then we might disagree on that, but that's not my main point here. My main point is that if you think it's crazy, but that crazy is what we need, then I'm just going to have to agree to disagree. It's mainly a meta-argument. I know that Articleman loves those.

I'm having a little trouble deconstructing the moral--is there something about guillotines? No? Well then, how about coin seignorage (there's a fancy french word, the decider will be pleased...)

I know you would look crazy with the five trillion wheelbarrows full of dollar coins, but you probably think it would be crazier to have a handful of trillion dollar coins.

Thing is, either way you have no fuckin' debt, and no shutdown government.

Unfortunately, I think

Unfortunately, I think Republican goats enjoy that kind of thing…

P.S. Just to be clear, of course Obama shouldn't have "let that first goat pass", but that's not the crazy I'm talking about, since, for one thing, it's not crazy. (Cue no real Scotsman…)
