A country in shambles, under GOP rule

Efforts to blame Democrats for the country's deep woes assume deep stupidity on the part of the glorified Regular Voter.

    I miss WT too, I miss him because he made this blog what others could not. I miss him because he elevated the discourse, and made you question yourself. I miss him because there wasn't a mean bone in his body, and the dignity in which he spoke made the rest of us look as if we were part of something better than ourselves. I'm sad because longiloquent priggism has become the mainstay prevarication for those who replaced him. Now that the cool kids are gone, and the best hors d'ouevres have been eaten, the ones who ran him off, offer mere tidbits to satiate a hungry crowd.
