People complain about how the blab is dead, but just look what happens when I post one little link.
You want me on that wall. You need me on that wall.
I, for one, have been thinking we're screwed for much longer than Obama has been in office.

Ringo, your right we need you. You know the blab loves you. We know you have a quota. That's cool!
Plus, Marco Rubio! Things are looking up!

Where odd audio errata, ephemeralities, and nonsense occasionally collide with actual music for serious contemplation. Trouble is - I'm not saying what is which.

This has got me to wondering if Obama got elected not because people wanted him but because they did not want Romney. I tend to agree we're screwed but mainly because there's so much in-fighting that no one is going to suck it up and make some hard economic decisions and if they do the others will shout them down. I wish I had an answer but don't. I don't have a lot of faith that our Republican and Democratic leadership can work together long enough to get us out of this mess. It may, as others here have suggested, take some cataclysmic event to get us back on track. I hate to think it would come to that. What if N. Korea was dumb enough to actually Nuke us. It's depressing to think about and I don't have a solution. Even kicking everyone out of office and electing a whole new group doesn't seem like it would work.

"Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

Had there not been a Tea Party to distort the primary process and push the credible candidates to the sidelines there could have been a race. That realization is why you see Rove and others fighting back to regain the center. Gonna be hard to do. The important part of the movement is to get the money pointed at more centrist candidates. That's hard because there are so many right wing nutjob billionaires, but the total failure of that money to buy anything in this election cycle will help.
National disasters help a sitting President and coalesce power around him, but that power doesn't necessarily work on social issues and we don't need a more militaristic Obama than we have already.
Kicking the bums out and starting over has been shown to further strengthen the entrenched lobby that really runs DC. Radical reforms to campaign finance are the only solution and it's going to take a major crisis around that, something bigger than Abscam, to trigger a reaction. Would Abscam even be a big deal today? Hell, they've legalized a lot of what those guys got busted for since then.
