I notice that I'm prone to bragging when my crazy predictions come true, but in fairness I should note that any one of these good guesses is eclipsed by hundreds of bad ones. But hey, I'm the guy who gets to spin it, here.
To use a shooting-forward analogy, the President and Senate Democrats can hold the tax ball completely out of reach of the Republican guard until the clock runs out. And every time they foul for the next two years, we get to take a shot at them.
Every Republican is tagged with the onus of having held our tax cuts hostage to enrich the already rich. The matter is not going to come up again for the Republicans in the Senate to redeem themselves. We get to flog them over the head with that for two years.
Not to mention the fun we're going to have when House teabaggers submit batshit crazy bills, try to play di-tee with every iPhone owning madam in DC, and pose with Klansmen in the House offices.
It's gonna be a f%$^in' circus, and I can't wait to watch it unfold in all its detail, just as the President and Democrats in the Senate have scripted it.
