    Not arguing with any facts, bu† not so sure about the conclusion. To me, Obama is sort of like old age: he w6rst thing you can imagine, until you consider the alternative.

    I debated whether to call this post “Glass Houses” but decided against it. Either would do. Glad you liked.

    No wonder Karl Rove can’t help but put out ads about this crap early. If I were him (thank FSM I’m not), I would, too.

    Although I’m somewhat reluctant to put it this way, given his opponents, at the moment, Obama is all alone, twisting in the wind because, well, he had it coming. But don’t think for a moment that any of this will begin to stem the Police State tide in which we’re being swept up. Quite the contrary.

    Well, I’d love to see something like that on the menu.

    At least this week, I didn’t have to write on my iPhone. Thanks.
    I would be happier than anybody to support a Democratic president, this time I frankly can’t.

    It is. In my youth, I thought things could change. In my old age, I’m just glad I’m not young. Never thought I’d say that.

    Yes, but the fact that they still try to sell it is telling. They know, deep down, that no one’s buying what they’re selling. Willingly, anyway.

    Same could be said of the years 1980-1992, and the same damn thing happened then, too. I start to sense a pattern.

    That’s my point in a nutshell. Heads they win, tails we lose, and the pact that we’re realizing this is the case is frosting on the cake. Nothing like a little dose of learned helplessness to drive down that ever more annoying voter turnout.

    That was the only thing that shows that I wrote this post on my iphone, due to computer problems which still aren’t entirely fixed. Sadly, I caught it too late to spare my tattered reputation. My mother is undoubtedly rolling over in her grave.

    Just finishing up my Big Dump project; I’ll do a picture-laden post at my blog.
    It’s turned out quite lovely. despite the fact that’s it’s the 1905 bungalow equivalent to a sripped 1972 Impala.

    As I’ve so often said, when Republicans win, they get a Ferrari and a pair of hookers; when Democrats win, they apologetically settle for a savings bond.

    I’d love the Senate, if Harry Reid were as devious and obstinate as Miss McConnell, and for the right reasons. Unfortunately, he’s neither.
    As a result, “control” of the Senate will forever remain pure fantasy, for liberals, anyway.

    The states do offer a glimmer of hope, Scott in Florida, Snyder in Michigan, and LePage in Maine, among others, are as popular as crabs in a whorehouse. Thus, their lovely ALEC “modela are going over like a f,art in church. The ones who remain unaccountably more popular, like Walker are mostly beset by horrible economic numbers that may yet fell them.
    Turns out the states were cheap to buy, but expensive to own.

    But losers are awfully powerful in our system…. Look at the packed judiciary; we have Reagan appointees as the new liberals.

    Not so much, quite honestly.

    Calling him an Edsel would be an insult to that fine Ford product. He was just he latest (and lamest) in a long line of righty spokesmodels.
    Sadly, he was a roaring success at it, just like the rest of them.
