   I think of Congress when I hear this part of Faint by Linkin Park: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYU-8IFcDPw&feature=player_detailpage#t=90s

   “I can’t feel the way I did before
   Don’t turn your back on me
   I won’t be ignored
   Time won’t heal this damage anymore
   Don’t turn your back on me I won’t be ignored

   Hear me out now
   You’re gonna listen to me like it or not
   Right now, hear me out now
   You’re gonna listen to me like it or not
   Right now

   I can’t feel the way I did before
   Don’t turn your back on me
   I won’t be ignored”

     I would bet that it’s the republicans deciding to destroy our nation just because they can and it will piss of liberals.

   Anyone know of past (recent) positions that Panetta has taken vis-a-vis Iran?

     How exactly do they know that the rockets are Iranian and came from Shi’ite groups?

     Something fishy is going on here.

   I’m about to tell everyone in Washington to go straight to hell.

   You better use what connections you have, because the folks in Washington haven’t been listening to me for two years.  Their attention seems not to extend to the Potomac.  To be frank, it seems to stop at K Street.

   Seems apropos.  Because that’s apparently what Washington is getting ready to say to the rest of the country.

   David Kurtz at TPM:

   I’m oversimplifying a bit but if you look at Obama’s rhetoric on the debt ceiling fight, it’s been heavily weighted toward how reasonable he is being. And that hasn’t worked very well. Today he’s shifted his tone more to how unreasonable the Republicans are being. That has a chance to get some traction, maybe not with voters but DC media. He badly needs that narrative to stick — and the fact that is an accurate and true narrative means it’s on him to make it stick. This presser is at least a step in that direction.

   Huh?  This is like the bully in the schoolyard pinning your arms behind you and telling you to fight.  This is what is seriously wrong with the Village media culture.
