Values Added: Parallel Knowledge Systems (Michelle Goldberg & Michael Dougherty)

[Kevin]

After paying attention to the debt ceiling volleying over the past few days, I read a Dana Milbank piece that reminded me of this http://bloggingheads.tv/diavlogs/374...9:54&out=20:09 remark by Michelle.

"With the nation just days from a default, the chamber is at the mercy of a handful of people who believe they are on a mission from God," Milbank writes. "As it happens, the Lord gave Scott the wisdom to oppose Boehner. 'I think divine inspiration already happened,' Scott said. 'I was a "lean no" and now I’m a "no."' And he’s not much worried about default, saying: 'I hope the Lord blesses our nation in a way that is measurable.'"
