The cynicism and sarcasm went right over their heads and it still does.<br /><br />The seas are too rough this time of year. I feel like Gilligan only this is a much bigger island.Capt.

That is the shortsightedness of those who could stand against this ugly tide if only they would put aside their own righteousness long enough to see the big picture. The gnashing of teeth over what Obama has not done is deafening. And every cry for punishing the democrats brings reward to the republicans. We can not fight the machine because the human protagonist has lopped off his own nose and can not tell when he should stop cutting. As I point this out to my liberal friends their own ability to ignore reality deepens. They seem to have a false future, like the false history of the conservatives only forward looking. If they keep holding their breath or behaving the same way long enough somehow things will turn out differently, for the better. I feel really alone sometimes. Last of the Mohicans, watching my nation disperse and fade away. Helpless with no ally to reach for. <br /><br />Sure wish I could hit the open seas. Leave the chum to the sharks. I always hated Archie because he was all too real.Rich Nicholsnoreply@blogger.com
