Recommended - Despite Crisis, It's Still Politics As Usual

I recommend the article by David Ignatius in today's Washington Post entitled "Despite Crisis, It's Politics As Usual". I think he has hit the nail on the head - despite wonderful campaign promises to change the way Washington works, in fact nothing (yet) is much different. I think Ignatius's parallel with the 1939-40 "phony war" is right on. Sometime soon the Washington politicians need to wake up and behave like there is a real crisis, instead of just giving it lip service.
