Photoshop Contest: One Does Not Simply Mock Into Mordor
As you may be aware, Senator John McCain, reading from a Wall Street Journal editorial on the Senate floor Wednesday, invoking Tolkien and quoting the passage here: The idea seems to be if the House GOP refuses to raise the debt ceiling, a default crisis or gradual government shutdown will ensue and the public will [...]

The “HEY! LOOK! BALD EAGLETS!” Distraction Open Thread.
They found four of ‘em in one nest in Maine: Apparently they usually go with two at a time, and very rarely three eggs hatch and survive. Four eaglets in one nest that make it is a phenomenon. But then, Bald Eagles have made it off of the endangered species list in Maine, so maybe [...]
Here’s the Latest Democrat Plan
Well, we really stuck it to the Democrats today. Instead of passing Cut, Cap, and Balance, a plan that will never pass the Senate and would have foisted the blame of a default upon us (supposedly), we orchestrated a plan to really own them. We came up with Boehner plan 2.0 that..well, …..will not pass [...]

Mitt Romney, on the other hand, finally decided to come out of the candidate protection program and be seen [...]
The Three Scenarios (And A Fourth)
There are three scenarios I see playing out here on the debt ceiling. The least likely scenario is John Boehner’s plan barely makes it through the House and then the Senate Democrats say, “Okay, we’re out of time, let’s do it.” That’s what the GOP is telling themselves will happen. Senator Reid today quashed that [...]
