previously on rubber hose...

when i disappeared into the lands of the decapitated (dedigitated?) watery fingers the other day, america was poised to eat a massive shit sandwich of draconian cuts all for the sake of protecting massive tax breaks for very rich people. now i'm back, and america is poised to eat a sightly bigger shit sandwich of draconian cuts for the cause of protecting massive tax breaks for very rich people.

is it too late to hope that this whole thing somehow falls apart, the titans of industry panic and call their congressmen, so we end up getting a clean bill whizzed through at the last minute? it probably is. it would just make congress and the president look even worse.
