John Dickerson is right: "The Obama strategy relies on theater. There is nothing substantively new about Obama's budget plan. He has offered versions of the same plan (i.e. Chained CPI) privately to Republican leaders, but now he's trying to go around those leaders. One requirement for building trust with Republican senators is putting these offers on paper. This is meant to show individual senators that he is making good on the promises he has made in private conversations, but it also offers them the cover they need with their constituents. If senators are going to flirt with tax increases, they have to show their voters that they purchased something in return. Now they can point to the president's public effort on entitlements. But wait, how do we know that Obama is really making a sacrifice? Just look at how upset his supporters are." So you progressives and liberals and Democrats who are mad as hell and are screaming at the top of your lungs: keep doing it. It is what Obama wants you to do. You are doing your part in this theater. Meanwhile, Greg Sargent explains why Obama wants a Grand Bargain in the first place and details his strategy to that underlies the current maneuverings over the budget....

As the zero-tax absolutist, and anti-referendum zealots (who are willing to outright lie about property tax Armageddon) continue to control the levers of government, it is worth considering what outcome we hope to achieve by underfunding and running public education into the ground in America. What lurks around the corner for a country that has declared the classroom teacher a menace to society? Here is a glimpse of that future. This is from Huffington Post, but it could be from wherever a teacher is talking about their life choices.

Remember those warnings about how instead of welcoming President Obama’s adoption of Chained CPI, Republicans would continue to deny him a budget deal and attack him for proposing to cut Social Security? Well Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR) — who also happens to be chairman of the House GOP’s re-election committee — just showed how it’s done, saying Obama’s budget “lays out a shocking attack on seniors.”

Comment author - NoLiberty! This campus needs to put signs up "Knife Free Zone" to prevent this from happening again! or maybe... "Assault/Murder Free Zone"? If we are not crystal clear with our laws and signage, people will still accidentally kill others thinking its OK to do so.

So far "14 hurt" have been reported. No deaths, so far. Maybe some of these unfortunate victims will die, but right now a "Knife Free Zone" might be premature.

Noted clown, John Sigler, a guy who couldn't find even one statewide candidate that could break the 38% threshold in the last election, has apparently given up on trying to get under my skin with his asinine "Democrat" party, and has renamed the party of Roosevelt, Kennedy, and Clinton.
