    I never cease to be amazed...

    At the continued baseless hubris and unmitigated gall of Republicans. Their economic theories are in tatters, the country is in the most major of recessions and stands at the brink of a second Great Depression. Yet their best idea is to drive the nation over that brink, sending literally millions to the unemployment lines and the auto industry into bankruptcy in order to score some political points?

    Shortsighted and woodenheaded are adjectives that don't even begin to describe the feckless stupidity and utter pettyness of this move.

    Un-fucking-believable.
