Yup. Of course he might have known that he wouldn't have a primary or a general from the start of the Congress, or at least before the first reconciliation vote. But maybe not.

Missed it when I read it lo these many years ago (before, indeed, 1984)...knew about it from ???.

I will point out that while Columbo was certainly the best of those shows, McMillan and Wife was solid.

Actually put on Mothership Connection, but sure.

If you really want to be perverse, you can make the argument that Blister in the Sun is more patriotic than American Music...and that Country Death Song is even more patriotic.

They could...but it is the core GOP agenda, and as much of a must-pass for them as anything. I mean, nothing is literally *must*-pass. Hell, some of them sincerely believe they don't have to do the debt limit. I could imagine a 1 or 2 year extension, but hard to imagine them just letting it expire.
