tea party debacle is ended, for now

i never thought the govt shutdown and the republicans threat to ruin the nation's credit and blow up the world economy would end so well --- it's too bad that congress only kicked the can down the road for a few months --- we can only hope that the republicans will again overplay their hand, reinforcing a turn against them in november 2014 ---


and the perfect coda to the whole sorry mess was the whacked out stenographer that took the microphone on the house floor right after the vote was complete:

a friend noted, however, that "considering the narrative that she was having to transcribe, it is no wonder that she cracked!"
