are we still on course to hit the debt ceiling Monday?

I have been out and will be for a few more days and am out of the loop.

Can someone answer?

If so, are Republicans lining up to take some hostages in return for raising the debt ceiling?

I was hoping you wouldn't be upset at my comment.



I am actually glad you asked that question because it is very important and not on the national radar screen at the moment. Thanks for bringing it up!

since they own 98% of media it won't be covered. They have been been beat up in all their other confrontations and are only a couple weeks out from the homeland(ugh!) security fiasco.

So the media kisses GOP ass once more. And the Clinton "crisis" is good(?) cover.
