  • We are well past this stage. I know so many people who will, to this very moment argue that worrying about any of this is just being too political, or that this is just regular left vs. right political fighting that doesn’t really have an impact on us. Same people tell you that if protestors would just let “law enforcement” do their job, none of this would have happened.

    It’s going to get real bad, and it’s going to have to directly impact many more people before this country cares. I’m trying not to let this lead to apathy on my part, I’m still looking for ways to fight. We all need to.















  • There’s the 27% crazy factor:

    John: Hey, Bush is now at 37% approval. I feel much less like Kevin McCarthy screaming in traffic. But I wonder what his base is —

    Tyrone: 27%.

    John: … you said that immediately, and with some authority.

    Tyrone: Obama vs. Alan Keyes. Keyes was from out of state, so you can eliminate any established political base; both candidates were black, so you can factor out racism; and Keyes was plainly, obviously, completely crazy. Batshit crazy. Head-trauma crazy. But 27% of the population of Illinois voted for him. They put party identification, personal prejudice, whatever ahead of rational judgement. Hell, even like 5% of Democrats voted for him. That’s crazy behaviour. I think you have to assume a 27% Crazification Factor in any population.
