Charles Pierce stating the truth that shall not be told:
We allow ourselves only two major political parties. One of them is completely out of its fcking mind. This is a national problem.
You might want to know which particular iteration of Crazy inspired Pierce to make this statement for the umpteenth time.
But, does it matter? Does it matter that the Texas Republican Party platform is that latest iteration? It could be anything. Five years on, we may look back and with the right kind of eyes see the high-water mark. The GOP was riding a beautiful wave. They had all the momentum. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever they were doing was right, that they were winning. And then the wave finally broke and rolled back. It had all been a tea-induced mass hallucination.
Watch out for bats.
