This just in... "It's fair to say that the engagement there is not in any meaningful way," Reid said. "Republican leaders still refuse to negotiate in good faith."

Senator "I love Money!" wrote me an email:

Dear Fellow Delawarean, Every day, I talk to Delawareans up and down the First State, whether through my office or at my local grocery store. They tell me that they are working hard to provide for their families and make our community a better place to live and work

Hold it right there. I don't buy that

No Republicans have the guts to say they are running for anything, so this is the list until further notice. Governor Democrat: Jack Markell (Incumbent) Republican: Terry Spence (Disgraced former Legislator) Outcome: Markell does not break a sweat trouncing this sad sack. US Senate - DEM PRIMARY Democrat: Tom "I'm a Republican!" Carper (Incumbent)...

I was wondering what the vibe would be like at this October's "VICMEAD 2011 Fuck YEAH!" the annual DEGOP cocktail party/Cotillion/"Doesn't Pete DuPont look amazing for 105 years old?" What…

This chap, Kevin Wade, is running against Tom Carper. Apparently he was a guest on some wingnut talk show talking about "the fair tax." I could not bring myself to listen but if someone has a laptop that they use exclusively for porn and listening to wingnut circle jerks, have at it.

Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina, a member of the Democratic leadership, said he told fellow Democrats that Obama should both veto any House GOP plan for a short-term extension of the debt ceiling and invoke the 14th amendment, which says that the validity of the nation's public debt "shall not be questioned."

This just in: Cantor then tells Boehner that as chief he should just order the freshman to work harder. Boehner admits that even if he called a meeting, the group would agree to five minutes of work and then "wander off to go hunting."

Except for Barack Obama, there is nobody left in the country who thinks that the Republicans are negotiating in good faith. Everyone knows that the Republicans are simply out to create mayhem in the hope that Obama gets left holding the bag when the economy progresses from gutter to cliff, to chasm. Everyone knows it, but nobody will say it - nobody that is except for Donald Trump.

Now they want to make sure Obama pays Social Security, Soldiers and makes sure bond holders are not adversely impacted in the event of a default. I don't think they know what the word "default" means.

The White House said on Tuesday that the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was "not available" to President Barack Obama to avoid the August 2 deadline to raise the U.S. debt ceiling.

They want a default. They want an explosive, "Mad Max" end to history in order to validate all their hatred, racism and pessimism. This comment from a TPM commenter nailed it - and in so doing, explains why it is eventually going to be a 14th Amendment solution, or bust.

While John Carney is far too conciliatory toward Republicans for my taste, according to his Communications Director, James Allen, the Congressman does realize that Republican intransigence is what has gotten us to to the brink of economic calamity, not Republican AND Democratic intransigence.

Self described "Consevative Christian" Anders Behring Breivik used guns and bombs to inflict terror on a massive scale in Norway. Are our self-described "Conservative Christians" in Congress less fanatical ?…
