Remember, we started this experiment in democracy over 230 years ago, and most of the new democracies on Earth (and there was a flowering of them in the 1990s) look to us for their cues. From Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe refusing to step down after an electoral defeat to the strange electoral shenanigans in Mexico, all of these can be laid directly at our feet. They believed in democracy, and we showed them how to pervert it.

Evidently you CAN fool some people all the time
Three Webrings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Red States where the Shadows lie.
One Webring to rule them all,
One Webring to find them,
One Webring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them
In the Red States where the Shadows lie.(with apologies to J.R.R. Tolkien)
his vorpal sword- My FlagWe live in a country where one political party has determined that UTTER opposition is the only prudent course, turning their backs on a system that has served our country for more than 235 years, since September 5, 1774, when the first Continental Congress met at Carpenters Hall in Philadelphia.
- Good RiddanceBecause the Aughts were the Decade of Fear: fear of terrorists, fear of surveillance, fear of swindlers -- from Enron to Blackwater -- fear of the Other: the "Jihadist," the "Muslim," the "Illegal Alien" the fear of the "terrorist cell." Some fears were justified. Others were not. And mostly we didn't fear things […]
- Something For the EloiYou thought the Boortz sound bite was bad? Hey, it's a straight Ayn Rand sort of statement, and at least HE didn't term the non-rich "parasites." Rand does, and unapologetically so.
- Schizoid ScherzoSo, how come those who demand the most Orwellian of Orwellian measures of intrusion into the privacy of ALL persons, including all Americans are the SELFSAME people who are complaining about "big government" and fighting government's "intrusion into our personal lives and finances"?
- Windows Don’t CountWho could ever have imagined that the operating system for that glorified abacus we call the "personal computer" wouldn't pass the abacus check for its name?
- Merry ChristmasClick ‘here’ and enjoy: HERE Courage.
- Global WarningAmericans for Prosperity's and the Cato Institute's Boards of Directors have one and only one Venne Diagram overlap: David H. Koch.
- A Christmas Tale for the Rest of UsChristmas, Marshall thought, is a time when we all show our brotherly love by putting up with people we wouldn't waste a moment with at any other time of the year...
- Butt Plug Bob Wants Santa To Kill Sen. ByrdButt Plug Bob only reveres Christmas if it agrees with him. ('Cause, like, he's an Über-Christer, don't cha know?) And, all he wants for Christmas is for Santa to kill Senator Byrd.
- Here’s a ThoughtI don’t know if we’ve forgotten it, or if the new generations never heard of it, but if you all could just take a moment to take your knees off your opponent’s chest, unclench your fists and wipe the blood from your hands … Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men. It’s a really good idea, no [...]

Jabberwocky
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe."Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood a while in thought.And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!One, two! One, two!
And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back."And, hast though slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
