"Sir your wife called. Your ______ is broken. She wants to know what to do." "Tell her to buy a new one." "She says it'll be expensive." "OK, tell her to spend whatever it takes. Find the best one. We can't go without it."<br /><br />The conversation is the same if the blank contains "flat screen TV" or "political party" or "news media empire." Have no fear, the owners will have a shiny new one up and running in no time. And they have people, the best people. They'll build it better than before.

Glenn BeckiBeckiBeckistan gibbers out ...Well well. Glenn BeckiBeckiBeckistan gibbers out something that actually makes sense, discounting temporarily his extemporizing on something something MLK. And yes, agreed, BeckiBeckiBeckistan is quite happily satisfied to witness D voters - especially the dreaded dusky hued ones - getting disenfranchised whenever and wherever possible. But somehow somewhere along the line, this gibbering loon has figured out that it's not cricket to disenfranchise the brown shirted Nazi's sieg heiling outside the door.<br /><br />Well done, BeckiBeckiBeckistan bc it's due in no small measure to YOU that this has happened. Well much as I hate loathe and detest admitting it, I supposed I'll have to give this ratbag at least a half point of credit for stepping up and saying that the rubes should have their say... FINALLY. Of course, Beck has been handsomely rewarded for turning these nutbars into the rightwing white supremacist lunatics that we presently witness... all of them probably polishing their guns before packing their bags to head to Cleveland.<br /><br />And possibly Beck gets it that the rabble won't be tamed by some weird back room deal, which the pundits have been vapidly offering as if it is a moral imperative, as well as something that Just Has to Happen and is really really a Good Thing.<br /><br />Color me amazed that Beck is that much in touch with some sort of reality that he is "getting it," at least in this context. <br /><br />I won't hold my breath, however, that the GOP is imploding and going away. They have TOO MUCH power in this country. This is one contest, frankly, and as important as it is, the D Team has permitted the Rs to gain huge power and control across the states, the local govts, the school boards and so on. So, No, I don't see the GOP going away.<br /><br />So BeckiBeckiBeckistan is still gibbering out some nonsense. Phew!

What Glenn Beck actually means to say is "...you can't disenfranchise Republican voters." He's fine with every GOP governor and legislature in the country disenfranchising Democratic voters however.Jimbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891331049535299222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-74595353682750409142016-04-11T09:39:07.438-05:002016-04-11T09:39:07.438-05:00"And ye shall know that the Media is actually..."And ye shall know that the Media is actually dead when the nation's most famous purveyor of crackpot conspiracy theories and racist gibbering is allowed to get away with quoting Martin Luther King about the importance of not playing to people's hatred while appearing on the nation's flagship Very Serious Public Affairs program."<br /><br />I know you would rather have cash than yet another encomium, but Well done, sir!
