Eli,
This debt ceiling thing has me so mad, and so depressed. It's got me so mad and so depressed that I can't coherently explain why it's bad in the first place! My emotions have blocked me of thought! So can you help me? Can you give me some talking points? Just what makes these GOP-ers so awfully leofucktarded? Why does this plan suck so bad? I know I'm not the only one who has a bad taste in her mouth that she cannot explain. Ok, that metaphor was maybe asking for a joke. Sorry. See? I'm depressed and incapable of smart-people speech. Stupid Republicans.
Thanks,
Rebecca
I'm slammed this morning, so: Sloggers, help her out? How does one describe, in simple terms, what's so fucked about this debt deal?
