I'll be honest and state upfront that I am disappointed in how this contrived Debt Ceiling fiasco has played out and somehow I hope that it isn't as bad as I fear. Regardless of how it plays out this situation should highlight that we've moved in to a new reality of governing in this country.

We no longer can say we have a model government because we now have brought hostage taking and terrorism into the mix. This thanks to the supposed Tea Party or as I call them a convenient excuse for the GOP to be the monsters they really are and always have been.

Below are my thoughts about this mess and though I wish my first diary attempt had been more fact based I guess I'll go with thoughts and feelings.
