Yeah I can understand that would not want us to start shooting Congressmembers until the Democrats were in the majority. But aside from being legal, what is morally wrong with Consols? Or even with the Mint coin. Right now in order to provide economic stimulus we do quantitative easing, which basically amounts to creating money out of nothing and giving it away to rich people. No special law was passed to do it. It was a creative step the executive took to stimulate the economy since nothing could pass Congress. So all of the sudden, QE is still OK but creating money out of nothing to avoid the full faith and credit of the US being defaulted on is immoral? And if it is, what the heck is immoral about issuing a type of bond the stupid dept limit does not cover? Comparing it to George Zimmerman does not answer. I freely concede that stuff that is legal can be immoral. I'm pretty sure I can refute any arguments that the first is immoral. And I can't even see a moral argument to refute for the second. (There are practical reasons to prefer the first, but the practical arguments against the second don't outweigh the practical arguments against default.)

Le Nubian, I can see that the existence of the tea party is bad for out nation. I don't see that outmaneuvering some of their unpatriotic actions by legal and moral means makes things any worse.

This is next on my wishlist

Oh, that's very nice. I need to get all my art up on the walls before I buy more, I think, but I'll have to remember that. If I have wall space left at that point.

what things do I need to put on my wish list? favorite things in your house? GO!

I like my LED flameless candles.

And an area rug (but I'm disinclined to give the cats an expensive puking spot).

My sanity is often saved by my Bissell SpotBot. Cat barfs, all I do is pick up the worst of it with a paper towel, set the Bot down on the spot, let it run 6 minutes, it's clean and done without much effort.

Finally clicking the links after giving msbelle the spins. Heh.

I may have to look into that.

Bissell SpotBot

That sounds like a thing that could improve my quality of life significantly. I had no idea there were such wonders to be had.

Ooh, I'll have to keep that in mind.

Hmmm, thing around the house that I appreciate the most, at least in the hot months: ceiling fan. I mean, I have AC units, but the ceiling fan moves the air around most efficiently and quietly.

Being a TX house, msbelle might already have some of those, anyway.

Timelies all!

There is wi-fi in some of the buildings here. Stupid me forgot the charger for the iPad, so I need to ration my time on-line.
