Here’s an uplifting text conversation I had with my sister earlier today.
Sister:?What do you think about the doomsday talk about what would happen if we default on our debt?
Me: Absolutely 100% chance that our economy and the entire global economy?would collapse in a way not seen since the Great Depression. ?The exact magnitude is impossible to gauge but you can be assured that it would be catastrophic.
Jonathan Bernstein in There won’t be any GOP alternative to Obamacare, commenting on the GOP’s eternal quest to bend time’s arrow back around:
If everything — even the whole concept of insurance — is tainted by association with Obamacare, then the only safe ground for conservatives (safe, that is, from cries of “RINO”) is to oppose insurance altogether. After all, as Ezra Klein notes, “plausible health-care plans are hard to come by.” So it’s not as if the leap to opposing the concept of insurance is leaving anything obvious behind.
I haven’t watched the video yet but most folks opining on the intersphere about NRA President Wayne LaPierre’s drunken interpretive burlesque performance this morning are in various forms?piteous, shocked, amused, bemused and all-around befuddled. ?Here’s the video:
Smart post by David Atkins on what really drives paranoid Southern white males nuts.
There was one scary link in there that pointed to a quote by radio shock-jock Neal Boortz:

I don't have a copy of Jim DeMint's book Saving Freedom handy — although I'm thinking about braving the hog cholera down at my recycle center's book bin over the weekend and I might get lucky — so I can't check on the context for the following Dave Weigel quote on Slate:

I’m sure you’ve seen (or heard of) this already, but it feels sort of like a Mr. Show sketch to me:
What’s amazing is how this guy becoming totally unglued is how unfazed all the people talking to him are. I mean, this is a grown man yelling at a woman from literally inches away, and everyone seems closer to laughter than fear. So little authority does Walsh apparently have that everyone interprets this more as some sort of weird performance art than real menace, which amuses me. Couldn’t you just imagine Bob Odenkirk in the Walsh role, yelling at a constituent for asking him questions? He’s got the yelling chops to do it:
DougJ reminds us of something that we always need to keep in mind when pondering why Republicans do what they do:
I know there are many moderate, pro-business conservatives who feel the same way about a government default that I do. Some have written about this quite eloquently—Howard Baker and the guys at OTB, for example. I mean no disrespect to them when I say this: for many conservatives, catastrophe is a feature, not a bug.

CARACAS – Capitalism may be to blame for the lack of life on the planet Mars, Venezuela’s socialist President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday.
“I have always said, heard, that it would not be strange that there had been civilization on Mars, but maybe capitalism arrived there, imperialism arrived and finished off the planet,”
Ha! I thought he must have been joking, then remembered the guy suspects the moon landing and 9/11 are imperialist propaganda.
