You have more Coke in your glass than me.

While growing up my brother and I would fight like cats and dogs.  We would fight about anything, and everything.  Some of the fights were mild and some got pretty nasty.  He would pinch, I would bite. He would hit, I would cry.

What I remember most about those fights is that they were stupid.  Simple disagreements that could be solved with simple compromise. 

Now its 2011 I am 44 and he is 40 and we hardly talk at all. 

I am watching the fight on Capitol hill over the debt ceiling and it reminds me of those stupid fights my brother and I used to have.  No one willing to compromise.  The consequences are much greater than who gets more Coke in their glass, but just as stupid are the arguments.

Comeon guys. Get your act together and  come to an agreement and move onto the next big crisis.
