I guess a couple of people liked that last piece. Too bad it’s true. I might have added that the rich bastards who are so ably represented by the Republicans just undermined our credit rating. Why did they do that? To avoid paying one dime in taxes. I wish I had remembered to include that fact in the piece because it’s all part of the attitude that’s driving people crazy.
I also want to note that the last thing this country needs is to have its cities lit on fire by our own underclass. The last time we tried that we got Nixon. This time, we’d get Rick Perry or some other plausibly tough, white, head-stomper. This country is already teetering. We can’t afford to tip in that direction. I think if people understood how perilous our situation has become, they’d talk a lot less shit about the president and start praying that nothing happens to him and that he can keep this ship afloat for five and a half more years.
