    Trollbot/Jim/Iokannan/Che

    Tiberius--considering that you've chosen the nom de troll of a depraved sociopathic child molestor who was a disasterous absentee emperor just like your hero Lil' Bushie, your weak attempt to poke fun at my ID is, well, oh dear, oh my, oh dearest lordie lord...

    And clue to the clueless--among even the most rabidly far-right aholes who are trying to take down Obama, those who still have a semi-functioning brain (which is quite a feat in light of the massive electoral defeat that they surely know awaits them which would surely turn anyone's head to goo) acknowledge that he's hardly a lightweight. But I guess that some people have to actually experience a massive hurricane to see one coming.

    Jim White--I Youtubed this segment of Countdown and it's quite funny/sad/typical:

    Iokannan in the Well--I've visited people in mental hospitals and it's got to be one of the most depressing places to find oneself in. I can only imagine what it's like to actually be a patient in one. In a sense, though, these lunatic fringe dead-ender wingnuts have trapped themselves in an insane asylum of their own making, as their furtive and feeble attempts to make reality conform to their delusional take on it constantly demonstrates. They actually WANT there to be state brutality that has the right and power to randomly abuse citizens for any and all reasons. They just assume, quite foolishly, that it will never happen to THEM.

    Che Pasa--I can't believe that we actually agree on something--how Dems have effectively if not explicitely conspired to allow this sort of thing to happen, by voting for laws that allow this, and not standing up against efforts to exploit them. Is my head now officially out of my ass? ;-)
