Place your bets

Do you think the country will default?

Personally, I do not. I think what it keeps coming back to is that the debt ceiling has been raised repeatedly in the past (including over a dozen times during the Reagan years) Suddenly making an issue of it simply stinks too highly of partisan politics, and most of that stench seems to be clinging to the GOP. Will they really be so stupid as to shove the country into default as part of a misguided attempt to try and score political points? I doubt it.

Comic Con, Day -1

Arrived at JFK and the line for the security check in was insane. Absolutely insane. Even the TSA people were saying to each other that they’d never seen anything like it.

I, of course, had: at Comic Con. Apparently JFK was a warm-up. Fortunately I got there early enough that I was able to make it through. Wound up standing in line with Jim Salicrup and we were able to make it through with minimum fuss.
