Mark His Words

I've pointed you to the always insightful, biting, and laugh-out-loud funny political commentary of NRO's Mark Steyn before--several times actually.  His latest on the "charade" that is the raising-the-debt-ceiling negotiations between the President and the GOP legislators does not disappoint.  Except, I would say, that it's more than a bit discouraging, dispiriting even, as well.  Steyn:

Nothing good is going to come from these ludicrously protracted negotiations over laughably meaningless accounting sleights-of-hand scheduled to kick in circa 2020. All the charade does is confirm to prudent analysts around the world that the depraved ruling class of the United States cannot self-correct, and, indeed, has no desire to.
