FASCISM UPDATE--apparently it's not just the leftist fringe that is disgorging remarks about the fascism afoot in this country, perpetrated chiefly by karl rove!
in some sense, i can't help but think of how pathetic this all is. it reminds me of bickering children. you know what i mean--when you lose, it's ALWAYS someone else's fault. i guess if they want to act like children, they should be treated as such; therefore, i propose that we find some sort of catch-all soccer mom who can give these people a time out, a loss of tv privileges, and perhaps a good spanking.
UPDATE: i just noticed something funny in mr. moench's words when glancing back at this. 'the movie of real life'? isn't that a bit of a contradiction? which will it be, mr. moench? which are you talking about? screen drama, or something with a bit more of an anchor in our spatio-temporal existence? yet another piece of evidence that those claiming to live in the 'reality-based community' are in fact anywhere but there.
If Karl the Terminator would pause long enough to turn his head a little to either side he would notice that in the movie of real life the victims scattered all over the highway are not just the Democrats but democracy itself. An electorate distracted by dirty tricks is less able to vote to protect the public interest, which is the whole purpose of democracy. A distracted, deceived and fearful electorate is the precursor of fascism.
Far better than any of his old friends, Karl truly has achieved his dream job. Unfortunately for the rest of us it's become our nightmare.
