Here's my choice for quote of the day: E.J. Dionne has an article over at Commonweal titled: "Get on with It: The debt 'crisis' has kept the government from doing its job."

Here's the quote:

"Every member of Congress who got us into this debt-ceiling fight should be docked six months pay. They wasted our time on political posturing instead of solving problems. Better yet, the voters might ponder firing them next year. This could do wonders for national productivity."
