Enjoyed this succinct and pointed observation from Metaforage/Metaphorage: what’s a meta for?: “The methodical re-engineering of the United States by conservatives
continues, as I predicted. This puts the lie to both the Naderites,
who said it does not matter who is elected, and the Republicans,
who pitched Bush as a moderate.” And, I’d add, to the Democrats, so bumblingly overconfident that they could save us from this outcome.
