Dear Diary: Fiscal cliff arguments are still in progress. I had a long phone conversation with John Boehner. If you can hear a people tearing up over the phone like you can hear them smile, then Boehner was tearing up. He's fired some of his rebels, so maybe a compromise will soon be at hand. Meantime the Syrian situation is getting scary, with Assad apparently ordering the loading of Sarin nerve gas ingredients into bombs. I had thought a warning of "consequences" -- delivered with a shake of my finger-- would deter him. But no-o-o. I may have order a black-ops team to go in and sort things out. Maybe they can visit Boehner on the way. Hmmm...12/5/12
