No Fiscal Cliff Deal In Sight... Lions and Tigers and Bears, O My!

 
This Oh!-No!-A-Disaster!, one should remember, is the result of the Grand Bargain of a year ago to prevent a... ummm.... errr... fiscal disaster. To prevent that disaster, the disputatious politicians agreed to create the conditions for a disaster a year in the future. All with assurances among themselves that surely, now that we all Know What We Are Facing, we will work together constructively. In complete denial of the fact that an utter inability to work together constructively is exactly why they created the poison pill of the sequester. In an end-times moment now they will prevent the current fiscal disaster by... ummm... errr... creating the conditions for a disaster yet another year in the future! Remember, you read it here first.
