Cruel and unusual punishment has just been successfully inflicted by the extremists, but then isn't that their specialty?
Over the week-end one could witness congressional drama that couldn't be nightmared up by the most creative playwright. And this is no fiction. We are talking super reality here.
Can we guess what the consequences might be? Krugman thinks he can:

I am going to take a fence sitting position here--rare for me........I am going to give President Obama the benefit of the doubt. I do not think the political hybrids, aka the Tea Party, will increase their representation in Congress, my hope being that there was so much media coverage that voters who are better informed will follow through on going to the polls in droves when elections for national offices are held.
So cheer up and be positive......maybe there will be a silver lining to the current cloud blackening the beltway ----
