- The People’s View has this great post that talks about the actual details of the debt ceiling compromise.
- The People’s View also has this post up trying to stop the misinformation before it gets out of control.
- This post at Rooted Cosmopolitan looks at how popular the deal is likely to be with the general public, of which the emoprogs are not a part.

I am glad to read some people have retained their wits.
I hope that more people regain their wits.
