So, the new "party beyond stupid" holds center stage in its three-ring circus, parading like willful inquisitors scouring heretics to be burned alive. How long before it matters that rival rightwingers have upped their rhetoric against each other, with Cruz clashing with McCain, Limbaugh with GOP leadership, and O'Reilly putting down Mitt Romney for not wanting "to be president of the United States, and that's why he lost." Right, squishy conservatives aren't just wrong, nor bad campaigners, but vacuous nincompoops who don't know their own mind.

Apparently, Republicans don't worry that battering their own might undermine their ultimate goal: to find any way to impeach Obama's legitimacy. Yet Democrats who welcome the shutdown must be chuckling as the rabid right lifts their 2014 election chances. If House zealots believe what they say -- that suicide missions against Obamacare are good strategy -- they are fools further jeopardizing what remains of their national competitiveness. If they don't, they are cynical knaves turned domestic terrorists indeed begging America to fail.

Economist Mark Zandi projects that any government closure will hurt, but an impasse stretching over months "would likely precipitate another recession.'' Nothing like worsening hard times to let Democrats pin the tail on that sick elephant. Will the party beyond stupid, translating their insatiable wrongs into divine rights, escape a return to the asylum? Who says politics isn't more amusing, and far more suspenseful, than any humdrum cable sitcoms?

2. I've noticed the Teabaggers at my job have become very quiet

Too quiet. Perhaps they are just now realizing what they voted for - American terrorists (my opinion). The GOP is losing the rebranding battle.
