I agree Jessica, the deal is no deal, just an agreement to more of the same.
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
There are some people of the opinion that they won't act up as much in February because it is an election year.
Uh huh.

I guess it will come down to how many are worried about being primaried by the Tea Party faithful. If the Tea Party is still considered a significant force in Republican politics, then we may see a bunch of Republican Congressmen doubling down on the stupid.
Which would do nice things for Democrats chances in the fall, but I'd rather not wreck the country and it's credit rating in the process.

Does it involve punching them in the throat? I hope it does.

Delaying another reckoning closer in to Primary season should make for good political theater.

Here's something for the Harry Potter fans: a documentary someone's making about the rise of Quidditch as an actual sport.
Consuela, this coming weekend in my neighborhood is the Harry Potter Festival, because the local college hosts a 6-college Quidditch tournament.

Unless the moderate Repubs and the Dems are willing to take away some of the procedural toys that the Tea Party are using to manipulate events, we are going to wind up with more of the same.

I have a Quidditch tournament near me every year. Can you call it Quidditch if you can't fly on brooms?
