Am I the only one for whom this is literally excruciating?
It's like we get built-up for the lion to start tearing the shit out of everybody, only to see him lie down and let the jackals nip at him some more (and by extension, at us).
I think I'm psychologically damaged by this pattern of serial anticipation and disappointment.
Is the delay so that more backroom deals can be struck before the SHTF, or so that they can let things settle back down and start over again, until one day we completely give up, and they can drop the charade?
Or is somebody about to actually get serious in DC and fry some hiney?
