"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
A problem with the Internets is I've been reading too fast. I'm learning how to read slow, and savor. The latest from VDH is meant to be read slow. This is just too good:
Unchecked hubris always incurs nemesis that leads to atê or destruction. In Obama’s case, we are witnessing such a sequence. His hope and change speeches are no more empty of substance than they ever were. But now the studied accentuation and Rev. Wright inculcated cadences are shopworn, the allusions tired and transparently the work of twenty-something speechwriters who ran out of clichés around March. The blame Bush continues, but it now is monotonous and sounds like the proverbial three-year-old’s sob.
"...before it was cool." Very good. I like the bumper on a clunker that says: "I survived cash for clunkers."

the teabaggers are the ones who woke up with obama's balls on their mouth and DIDN'T like it.

Damn I wish I could write like that.
