And the Republicans didn't win Mass, the Democrats wrapped it up and handed it to them with a bow.<br /><br />I don't understand why Dems are so incredibly incompetent once they get in office, so concerned with offending anyone or breaking the rules when meanwhile the Repubs are running roughshod over the lot of them. It's infuriating.<br /><br />And our voters. Good God. Somebody please round these people up and reverse their lobotomies. I'm Scott Brown and I drive a truck. Every election cycle I watch the news and do another series of facepalms.Wanderlusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099758957492165428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-1974466391041100052010-01-20T13:04:31.563-05:002010-01-20T13:04:31.563-05:00Absolutely incredible!

Th...Absolutely incredible! Has the world gone mad?<br /><br />They say (actually I think it was Professor Peter of <i>Peter Principle</i> fame0 that there are two types of people who are feared: the super incompetant and the super competant. Those who are just ordinarily incompetant hang around for ever like the Royal Family (God save the Queen).<br /><br />At least my day was brightened up by a good interview on BBC with Richard Dawkins. It was about his contention that you shouldn't refer to Catholic (or protestant, or Muslim etc) children. You should call them 'children of Catholic (&c) parents'. He has a lot of sense that man, I have all his books.Maaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13444125754967223180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-21862957451974895022010-01-20T12:35:24.071-05:002010-01-20T12:35:24.071-05:00I saw the news out of Massachusetts this morning a...I saw the news out of Massachusetts this morning and it's going to take me a very long time to work through my Kübler-Ross on this one. That the coup de grâce to healthcare, climate change legislation, anything the Dems want to do to help the economy etc was delivered by *Massachusetts* - yes, the homo-loving socialist republic of Taxachusetts (that sounds all wrong, but I love[d] it for precisely these reasons) - is profoundly shocking. Teddy Kennedy must be turning in his grave. Yes, Coakley was the world's worst candidate (as one of my favourite US journalists, Ezra Klein, put it, 'Shake hands? With voters? Eeeeewwww!') and people wanted to vent, but to do this given what's at stake is stupidity and selfishness of the most unpardonable kind. And as for electing a man who supports waterboarding (again, simply unbelievable) just because he drives a stupid truck smacks of who would you rather have a beer with. And we all know how that one turned out. Obama and the Dems have proved useless so far at fighting back, and unless they start doing so pronto, I agree - Obama is finished. Everybody says that Clinton had a rocky first year and bounced back, but the atmosphere now is superpolarised compared to then. Republicans blocking everything - as they will do now - and Dems not bothering to even point it out is a recipe for political suicide. We are headed for depressing times.<br /><br />Badger, you exercised great restraint on this one in your post. I don't know how you managed to keep the rage bottled up. As you can you see I'm incapable of doing this so please forgive me for splurging all over your comments section.Parsifalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00216473343042128985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804114935312811175.post-20923352718841456312010-01-20T12:05:04.745-05:002010-01-20T12:05:04.745-05:00Oh heavens, I posted twice?
