At this writing, the "parties involved" are "very close" to ending this "The Hatfields and McCoys Go To Washington" cluster f**k.

Assuming the wheels don't come off the wagon, we will all live to live beyond our means another day.
And, as predicted by any number of pundits, prophets, poseurs and/or pretenders, the Great Default of 2011 will be narrowly averted in the nick of time.
Before the "open the bubbly" app gets activated, though, allow me to offer this observation.
Come November 2012, each and every member of the cast of this doomsday thriller, regardless of their geo-political location left or right of the center line,needs to be held, not in esteem or appreciation, but, accountable for their behavior over the past few weeks.
The fact that they managed (decided) to steer the bus away from the edge of the crevice at the very last second shouldn't exonerate them from scaring the bejesus out of the masses with no more of a true agenda than their patented brand of bitch-slapping each other around the Beltway.
Fair being fair, gotta admit that, as thrillers go, this one has been a real edge of the seat production.
And, by way of returning the favor, I think we ought to produce a little "be in fear of your lives" offering for anybody with a Rep., Sen. or Pres. in front of their name.
Coming to a ballot box near you.
November 2012.
