If something really was in the works, we would not know about it. The fact that it’s all that everyone is talking about makes me think it’s all grandstanding to improve bargaining in the talks.

Ok out of shelter. Now just watching tv. It’s fucking 320 in the morning.

Not me, that’s for sure.

[jon-nyc]

Me neither.
