We ought to know by November...

...whether our society is too stupid to survive. Mark Steyn:
He thinks you’re stupid. Warren Buffett thinks you’re stupid. Maybe you are. But not everyone is. And America’s foreign debtors understand that “the Buffett Rule” is just another pathetic sleight of hand en route to the collapse of the U.S. dollar, and of American society shortly thereafter.

When he’s not talking up his buddy Warren, the Half-Millennium Man has been staggering around demonizing Paul Ryan’s plan, which would lead, he says, to the end of the weather service, air-traffic control, national parks, law enforcement, and drinkable water. Given what’s at stake, you might think then that the president would have an alternative plan. But he has none, save for his proposal to pay off the 2011 federal deficit by the year 2526. The Obama No-Plan plan means the end of everything. That really ought to be the only slogan the Republicans need this fall:

What’s your plan?

And all you hear are crickets chirping.

So, if the American people wish to choose their chief executive on the basis of the “war on women,” the Republican theocrats’ confiscation of your contraceptives, or whatever other mangy and emaciated rabbit the Great Magician produces from his threadbare topper, they are free to do so, and they will live with the consequences.

I've had the same thought. The problem is, we have to live with the consequences of having a feckless pretender as President, too.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a binary government. One part for normal, sane people; and one part for the moonbats and Democrats.

In that case, rinardman, we would have most of the landmass, and the moonbats would have small enclaves along thin strips of the coasts and Great Lakes. Works for me. I'd enjoy a vacation in Florida with a moonbat bowing and scraping and serving me pink drinks with little umbrellas.

"… and serving me pink drinks with little umbrellas."
You'll have to teach him how to use a serving tray.
