Just remember, they didn't believe they lost the election either

The right-wing crazies were dead certain they were going to win last November and were almost incoherent when they lost. Even Karl Rove believed they were going to win, while those of us in the "Reality-based Community" knew we were going to win. The Fox News crowd reminded me of people who followed a doomsday cult the day after the world did not end and Jesus did not show up.

And now they are saying that defaulting on the debt will not cause economic calamity. In fact, it will "firm up the markets".

There is a growing likelihood of default and an economic meltdown on par with the Great Depression.

Averting that cataclysm rests in the hands of a handful of GOP "leaders" and whether they will have the courage to turn back, or whether they will put on the track suit, drink the Kool-Aid, and wait on the Hale-Bopp comet to return.

Boehner is in a "no win" situation.

If he drives off the cliff he is out next election, if not sooner, when the villagers show up with torches and farm implements.

If he does the sane thing, he will be crucified by the Koch Brothers and their ilk who will fund a primary challenger to defeat him in 2014. Also, he will likely be deposed as Speaker before then.

Their war cry will be "It would have all worked out if it hadn't been for the meddling orange guy".

They are experts at making millions miserable and (depending on the country) dead.
