It must be time to sleep because I can't find anything to write about that seems important enough (thanks to our glorious media who have Mitt, Snooky, naked princes and hurricanes on their minds) or things other than those about which I am thoroughly disgusted (like inept home services providers, death, illness, smallmindedness and . . . hurricanes). . . maybe there is something here.
NAHHH!!!!

". . . Or as it's known on Capitol Hill, supply-side economics. Remember that
magic beans theory? That you actually bring in more revenue by bringing
in less? Ronald Reagan believed it. But at least back in the '80s it was
new. The thing is, we tried it, and it doesn't work. Yet, Paul Ryan,
who every shit-for-brains pundit in America keeps telling us is a
"serious" guy, still believes in the supply-side theory. All the
Republicans do. They all believe in something that both science and
history have shown to be pure fantasy. The symbol for their party
shouldn't be an elephant -- it should be a unicorn. . . "
". . . The grown-up answer is: identify problems scientifically, prioritize and
solve. The Republican answer is: there isn't a problem. And anyone who
tells you different is a liar who hates America. . . "
". . . Next week in Tampa the Republicans must admit that the difference
between a GOP convention and Comic-Con is that the people at Comic-Con
have a much firmer grasp of reality.. . "

. . . but in addition to sorrow, grief and concern, I have experienced much of it recently.
Not only has mortality made its point clear to me once again, but the notion of imperfection has been reinforced.
I knew that I had become a 'grownup' the day I realized that my heroes had faults. They were real people who offered me something that I required but did not possess myself. And although each one was, in my eyes, a master in his individual field, he was merely a human being complete with imperfections, just like me. Since it is beyond my capability to change that fact and since I most certainly do not possess the ability to make him (nor myself, for that matter) perfect, I, myself choose to continue to appreciate him for his redeeming abilities or disassociate myself from him for his flaws. It is my choice. I must make it and I must live with it.
Isn't this what we all do?

". . . how did Todd Akin get nominated for the Senate in the first place? How did Christine O’Donnell in Delaware? How did Donald Trump surge to the top of the early presidential polls after his birther blather became public? Why do so many Republicans have so much trouble with evolution? Climate change? The non-difference between forcible and statutory rape?
This is not to say that Republicans are, by natural bent, stupid. Indeed, many of the smartest, most erudite, most creative policy thinkers I’ve encountered over the past 40 years are Republicans or conservatives. They’ve been the source of some of the best policy proposals I’ve seen–including the individual mandate for health care, cap and trade (to limit sodium sulfur-dioxide), school choice, work requirements for welfare recipients. In foreign policy, they’ve been well-represented by realists like Brent Scowcroft, James Baker, Bob Zoellick and their boss, George H.W. Bush.

But the Republican Party that produced such thinkers is, as we all know, gone now. And what we have is a party that too often acquiesces–with rolled eyes and grimaces, to be sure–in the know-nothing idiocy of a plurality of its base. There was a period when the Democrats suffered from a similar malady–the days of racial quotas, overweening sociological tolerance of criminality and the belief that the U.S. is almost always wrong when it uses force overseas. The Democrats still have some outliers who believe such things. But Bill Clinton showed that Democrats could reform themselves; Barack Obama’s reliance on ideas that were originally Republican or bipartisan in much of his domestic agenda is a reflection of the permanence of that change. . .
