“Never forget the power of silence, that massively disconcerting pause which goes on and on and may last induce an opponent to babble and backtrack nervously.”

Boehner has basically said he can’t do anything so the Senate has to lead and send him something. (And I guess he then asks his caucus if they’ll vote for it.) I think he truly is stuck.
Reid has said that he’s waiting for something from the House that the Dems can support. And McConnell is silent (from all indications not talking behind the scenes either).
Se we’ve hit the debt limit (we’re now in the extraordinary measures part). Taxes are set to rise. And government spending is about to take a big hit.
And it looks like Congress is so dysfunctional that this cannot be addressed. So what happens now?
On the boyles show, today, petey announced that the President has the power to issue an executive order banning the manufacture, sale and possession of assault weapons, but he has refused to do so because Obama wants to attack the entire Second Amendment.
This is, of course, total bullshit. The President has no such authority. But, no one is allowed to be on his show if they contradict what boyles says. The question is:
Is boyles senile or is he paid to spread total misinformation?
I know, I know, Jason, boyles is your sometimes BFF.
Sadly for many of you this just isnt fair, not fair to Gregory or NBC. Unintended consequences …. is the political class’s term for the pain you feel in this case.
On the other hand it is troubling, the Gregory children attend the same school as the Obama’s. Thankfully it’s a very slim chance that any school policy addresses potential sanctions to the Gregory’s.
However, a felony conviction is certainly something that might damage Mr. Gregory’s security profile among the political class. The following story seems to make it look much worse for Mr Gregory, clearly worse then even I suspected.
