The Not-So-Great generation

The Obama reelection campaign, once again displaying the overarching chutzpah that serves in lieu of genuine accomplishment, has christened Obama’s supporters, “Gen44”. So, all you true socialist believers, liberal dreamers, cli-fi enthusiasts, race-firsters, anti-constitutionalists, hard-wired Democrats and just plain, uninformed nincompoops who turned an obscure senate backbencher into the 44th president of the United States now have your own very special category. No doubt, a few years from now, when we’re pushing our wheel-barrows full of currency to the Government Grocery to purchase a loaf of moldy bread, while entertaining the futile hope that the Government Hardware store next door may have finally acquired a few rolls of tar paper that we can buy to waterproof our wretched little shanties, the membership of that formerly august order will have dwindled down to a paltry few, possessing less influence than, say, the Rosicrucians or the Daughters of the Confederacy – at which point, the rest of us may take a stab at starting the long march back to public sanity.
