DJ:"The Federal Aviation Administration is unfunded and therefore partially shut down, which means that roughly 4,000 F.A.A. employees are out of work. Members of Congress have all left for their August break and won't return until after Labor Day. Now each party is fingering blame at the other for failing to restore funds to the agency to keep it running."David Frum:"The debt ceiling debate feels like one of those tragic episodes out of the history of the fall of republics. To gain their point on a budget matter, Republicans did something unprecedented in the annals of American government. They made a bargaining chip out of the public credit of the United States. In a well-functioning democracy, certain threats are just not used, and the threat to force the country into default should rank high on the list of unacceptable threats."FrunForum Reader:"Interesting too how the mighty Democratic Party and all the great minds attached to it are completely unable to outsmart the dim-witted, inbred, knuckle-dragging hillbillies that constitute the Tea Party. How can that be?"Quote of the Day“One party has no heart, the other no spine.” ~ Joe Bageant
