Welcome to the Crazytown Express

The main German newspapers have started to run reports on the upcoming US debt ceiling fight and budget battle.

Even when living in the US, the K-Landnews TheEditor had the nickname Crazytown Express for this sort of fight, and it looks a whole lot worse from the outside.

All the bitching of the Graham crackers about loss of leadership, an image of weakness in the Syria debate, is nothing compared to the money quarrels.

US debt ceiling and budget clusterfucks makes all the Greek financial debates look perfectly sane.

The Republican party must be soooo tempted to run a repeat of last time and get cuts across the weegie board, exempting of course everything around the well-being and the traveling needs of congress and national security.

Both of these considerations are logical. You need to give the deciders unfettered access to a disappointed and distressed public so the congress folks can blame everything on "Washington". And you need the national security apparatus in good shape when you go and cut food stamps again.

The wasted lives of the politicians in Washington are a sad sight to behold.

Will John Boehner look back on his career after retirement and say: "I am proud we voted against Obamacare 40 times"? 

His Wikipedia page states he started working in a bar at age 8.

At 8?

That means he already had a late start in life.

By age 8, TheEditor already had two solid years of farm work experience which included outperforming adults.

And now, Johnny Come Lately B. is doing the same job he did at age 8, pushing the big budget broom through the halls of Congress where the air is stale after the latest power binges and the smell of a regurgitated, high sugar political diet can turn your stomach.

Welcome to the Crazytown Express, next stop The Cliff.
