My friend Paul Loop
instantly got the point, it, as usual: "Debt default is part of the
surrender to the higher power of authoritarian rule. The Tea Party Christian
jihadists have a sick romance going with destruction and resurrection. They see
the salvation of their souls and the economy within the same apocalyptic
frame."
And the old fools who
voted Republican learned from sages like George Will that Republicans failing
to raise the debt ceiling would be no problem at all. The government could pay
the interest on the national debt merely by stopping Social Security checks, he
helpfully explained. The seniors may learn that it's harder to take the
knife out of your back than it was for you to put it there.
The Rev. Pat Robertson says
that Haitian earthquakes are caused by pacts with the devil and that mighty
hurricanes can be diverted by his prayer magic. But even he and Rush Limbaugh,
the porcine pontiff of Republican fascism, turned on the GOP today. The
Tea Baggers went too crazy even for the crazy peddlers.
