The fans in the stands were on the edge of their seats. With the game tied, and the half almost over, would the Goopers go for it? What would happen.Time out ends and the Goopers take to the field. Wait! It's the punting team. They're going to turn the ball over. PUNT!Note: For those who have had their heads tucked under their wings, McConnell has proposed letting Obama raise the debt ceiling on his own for the rest of the term.

Rather than trying to change the America as we've known it for the last 80 years while there's an economic gun pointed to our heads for the next two weeks...raise the debt ceiling any way possible then have a series of good, thorough policy discussions about priorities and budgets. That sounds like a much healthier process than finger pointing, panic, hostage-taking, rushed cuts to the bone, etc.I'm for it.
