Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections, but instantly set about remedying them - every day begin the task anew.

Frustration!  Debt deal.  Congress! Yikes.  For a rational review see Washington’s blog and from Invictus at The Big Picture.

Behind all the flim-flammery of this manufactured "crisis", we are watching the creation of a new form of government -- or rather, the further mutation of the new form of government that the United States has been crawling toward for a long time.

No doubt there are many other ways you could describe this murderous, ravenous, lopsided monstrosity of a system. But the one thing you cannot call it is a "republic".
