   Yes, isn’t that special? Perhaps whatever’s going around up there made it’s way to Wisconsin. Hell, Michigan even went red. Something groovy is going on at the border.

   I’m hoping it’s a portent, spreading, as Pablo says, from the north on down.

   Well, the wingnut side of my family is French-Canadian (via Ireland), so I never lost faith in the dirty Canucks. New Yorkers, on the other hand, I have no faith in whatsoever.

   I wonder if Justin Trudeau will threaten to move to Florida?…

   I didn’t think of that, mojo. When the Proggs go down in flames in 2012, where will the tilted-head brigade move to?

   I suggest Venezuela.

   Steyn is funny today.

   And Steyn is serious also.

   The other day Paul O’Neill said that . . . “The people who are threatening not to pass the debt ceiling,” he said, “are our version of al-Qaeda terrorists. Really.”… “They’re really putting our whole society at risk by threatening to round up 50 percent of the members of the Congress, who are loony, who would put our credit at risk.”
   […]
   Secretary Geithner says that even to be discussing the debt ceiling is “a ridiculous debate to have.”
   […]
   But if Geithner thinks that even discussing the question is “ridiculous,” then, as my colleague Jonah Goldberg put it, why have a debt limit at all? What’s the point?

   Well, because it gives us more credibility with our creditors, right? Even if we set the debt ceiling way up in cloud-cuckoo land to a bazillion trillion gazillion dollars and 83 cents, even a debt limit entirely unmoored from reality still gives the impression we haven’t quite flown the coop.

   Yes, but why does the U.S. government need to maintain credibility with its creditors when increasingly it’s buying its debt from itself?

   Oh Canada! You cold and liberal land!

   True Patriots, were ignored like tar sands.

   You were marginalized, by Qubecois, a strong land made quite weak.

   Oh Canada, your commedians, went south for jobs to seek.

   But finally. You realize you’ve been wrong. Liberal lies, have made you not as strong.
