Jeez people.

It's like we're all in a car crash and time has seemingly slowed to a crawl. This can happen during profoundly consequential moments. Unfortunately, as the events around us appear to stretch out, our mouths are somehow able to speed up. Our ability to share memes is in competition with light to be big fat winner of the velocity sweepstakes.

It's as though we can share elaborate prognostications on what the crack in the windshield growing one centimeter due north-east portends for the eventual landing of the car. The scenery is inching by in slow motion, but technology allows the memes to flow and grow like we're all on crack and helium at the same time.

I'm in the car too, and I'm guilty as well.

Take this for example:

I've been informed here that today's news out of the White House about GM and Chrysler is the biggest union busting move in history!

Really? Obama a union buster? Isn't it more likely that...

If you're scoring along at home, in the barnyard scrap to be ruler of the Republicans it's:

Congressman Phil Gingrey (R- Coward): 0
GOP Chairman Michael "Balls Of Jell-O" Steele: 0
Radio host Rush Limbaugh: 2

I'm in Vegas, and they're picking favorites to be the next humiliated apologizer to Rush. There's a couple going on the board, here's the spread:

Republicans leaders (that would be Rush Limbaugh) want their wingnuts to believe that under Bush, the Republican Party "lost it's way". But it's not true.

Yes this isn't news to Kos readers - but I do believe there is an actionable approach to wing-nuttery to be had here. So join me under the fold...

The Republican-caused crisis has provided the GOP with the godsend of a consequence-free sandbox for proving to the wing-nuttiest of their wing-nut constituency, that beyond just talk, they are every bit as crazy as they are.

Hello Kossaks!

I've been meaning to start a diary here for a long time. But I am an extraordinarily lazy individual. I am, however, occasionally motivated to make fun of my right-wing troglodyte family back home. So I thought, why not combine the two? Hey, you got peanut butter in my chocolate!

I've been involved in a seven year on-going flame war with certain members of my family, who are the only Republicans I know. This flame war was ignited by the former President Bush, at the outset of the Iraq war. It's been sometimes nasty, but mostly good fun.

I'm betting I'm not alone in this experience.

This is the latest, to my brother, laying down some new ground rules that reflect the changing lay of the land.
