Awful Cruelty to an Idiot Boy

The Good Doctor has, in a previous post, commented on the rise of the Rethuglican Party (or, as its hapless chairman might call it  - “Part-tay!”).

This encephalitic pin-headed mutant is scion of a once honorable and noble political and economic philosophy which once encompassed intellectuals like William Buckley, economists like Milton Friedman, and honest to Goddess public servants like Barry Goldwater. Whether one agrees with their philosophy or not (Spoiler Alert: I do not), at least they based it on some level of cognitive thinkin’, Lincoln. Now, though, Republicanism  is a tattered empty shell.  The best  mental exercise these people can currently muster, when not holding their breath like spoiled brats, is a sprawling budget proposal which summarizes thus:

And that’s after the best minds available to Rethuglicans worked on the issue.  Fortunately, Nate Silver from FiveThirtyEight.com provides an idea of what the Rethuglicans intend to do for the budget in depth

Unlike an adept who might practice Vedanta meditation seeking a unique reality, the inner Brahman, instead one finds Rethugs such as Michelle Bachman, simultaneously calling Obama’s policies “Marxist” while suggesting that “I want people in Minnesota armed and dangerous . . . because we need to fight back.” , after which she assuaged the populace that she “was not a kook“  I know I feel so much better, thank you.

Indeed, if I were so inclined and not ready for medication, I could continue with the evidence to support my thesis, including Michael Steele’s theories of self immolation in order to provide better lighting to identify his perceived enemies within the party he chairs, or Rush Limburger’s many gob-smacking pronouncements.

No, instead, my warped sense of decency demands I not be cruel to idiot boys; at least not today . . .
