What Might Have Been, Might Yet Be


Back in June we published Dreary Encrusted Leftoidal Seattle: A Town Without a New Idea in 35 Years. My friend DAS and I frequently complain that this Cup of Poison we're doomed to drink was first poured in the Seventies. It may taste like cold piss, all right, but the American Left is dedicated, you have to admit. That irrepressible enthusiasm is captured above in a timeless photograph of care and concern for dumb bastards like ourselves. No mistaking the natural superiority there, is there? I feel solaced, just as a man does before the hospital staff picks his wallet.
How many times have I sighed, "Alas! If only we had blogs and Rush in '72!" Today in American Thinker Steve McCann spies Primo Bud in the Shake: Obama and the Last Hurrah of Liberalism. McCann notes two key differences between then and now:
"The first: the emergence of alternative news sources to once and for all break the stranglehold of the dissemination of news by the traditional outlets dominated by the left.
"The second: The election of a radical left-wing President and a Congress controlled by the same radical element of the Democratic Party."
Could it be? Well, WaPo reports that Dem contributions have puckered up like a sphincter in a North Dakota cold blast. Things're lookin' up!
You can find these and similar platitudinous bell curves at Washington Rebel, where Librarians Share the Break Room.
