Dazed and Confused in Limboland

More cold. More snow.  More closed door bilateral meetings.  More speeches about the need to act.  More speeches about capitalism at the root of all our problems. More he said. More she said.  More proclamations that a deal is eminent.  More acknowledgments a deal is not possible.  More leaked copies of “The Draft”, distributed along with other documents, also called “The Draft”.  Is it an agreement? An Accord? Or perhaps just a Policy?  No one can agree on what to call it.  More people with more experience than me asking each other, “Do you have any idea what’s going on?”. More waiting, and waiting….and waiting.   Ombama is still trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat. At least I think so, the process is not very transparent. The next plenary is to begin at 11:00pm, 2 mins from now. The agenda has just been posted. Good magic takes time. I guess we should give it a few more minutes.
