Frankly, I would love to see the Republicans lose power, because they deserve to. Unfortunately, there’s no way to do that without having the Democrats win, which they don’t deserve, and the country would suffer for it. And not fake, hysterical suffering like the fantasies of the Bush haters.
Oh, and if we had more Republicans like Dick Armey, who came down with both feet on idiotarian bully James Dobson, the party would be in a lot better shape. What we need is an army of Armeys.
Next time they call people fascists, some of these folks need to look in the mirror.

Jonah Goldberg (with whom I had the pleasure of chatting for a few minutes last night) has related thoughts.
So much of the demonization of conservatives from liberals in the last fifty years has worked on a formula which goes something like this: “I want use the state to impose my dreamy good intentions. Conservatives are evil. So, if they get ahold of government they will use government to do evil in the same way that we would do good.”
The illustrator for The Flintstones, and many other classic Hanna-Barbera hit cartoons, has died. I’m dating myself, but I remember being allowed to stay up and watch, and if I was good, watching Jackie Gleason and Crazy Guggenheim.
Of course, back then, we didn’t realize that Huckleberry Hound was so gay. But it seems obvious now.

…a dud. Which gives, some, but not much, comfort. It’s nice to know that neither their missiles or their bombs work. So far.
That doesn’t, of course, mean that we should ignore it. I’ve always thought that a sincere attempt at murder, even if incompetent, would merit the same punishment as achieving one.
