It riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave.

And keep on thinking free.

At least we try.

And Harold . . . stop picking on Ohio. He's trying to figure out how to make do with the *stuff* on the market shelves. Just like I am. I read an article like the one zeek linked and I find fault in both the article and the position of the one he was griping about (Gruden or someone like that). We are all faced with pretty bad choices.

One writer I occasionally read suggested that Trump (although I suspect it was more like the combination of Trump/Clinton if the truth be told) could result in the destruction of both the Republican and Democratic parties. The internal strife over Trump v Cruz v Rubio v Kaisich (sp?) etc. and Hillary v Bernie created significant divides among those of allegedly similar goals. We might be able to imagine it results in a better system, but the truth is that it might result in a 4-party system in which there is never a winner via standard means. It would take a constitutional amendment to get a president. Of course the congress could simply declare a president because that is evidently the last option if the electoral college completely fails.

Let's see. A multi-party system. Missouri Synod Republicans, the Tea Party, the Hard-Shell Democrats, and the Southern Democrats (couldn't resist filtering in a few denominational puns).
