DAYTONA BEACH -- For the past week, I have been trying to write this blog but the idiocy coming out of Washington has been too much to bear.

The shadows dance around the flames. The Republicans walk out of the debt limit talks to dramatize their opposition to raising taxes. The president is dragged off the golf course and into the negotiations, whereupon he promptly makes a campaign speech promoting class warfare rather than seeking a debt crisis solution. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke scratches his head in puzzlement as his monetarist remedies fail to offset the damage to the economy exacerbated by the socialist policies of the Obama Administration.
And all of this is theater.
It is in the nature of these political confrontations that a solution will not be reached until the last possible second. The good of the nation be damned – there are too many political careers at stake to compromise before it is absolutely unavoidable.
The world is well-rid of the most hated and hunted man since Adolf Hitler: Terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden, the architect behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks on American soil nearly a decade ago, was shot and killed by American forces in a daring mission inside the Pakistani border from Afganistan. And without haste, Bin Laden was buried at sea.
