In response to this crap, we find this:
Charles:
Thanks for your effort in this post.
I won’t repeat objections in previous comments, much of which I agree with, but I’ll add the following:
“Nationally, the impasse in the Iraqi government is not much more gridlocked than our national goverment.”
Cripes. I’m going to ask that you consider removing that sentence from the post, along with the usual “invested in defeat” boilerplate.
(Baby, all of us are invested in whatever happens in Iraq for the next 50 years. It’s unfortunate that our one-time business partner, Saddam Hussein, couldn’t be around to help us pay off the balloon payments on that subprime loan the Administration saddled us with before the house is foreclosed.)
Back to the offending sentence. Are you telling us that if the current gridlock between the Democrats in Congress and the Republican minority and the President over the Alternative Minimum Tax is not resolved soon that a bloody civil war will ensue?
Will Kurdish South Dakotans declare secession and together with their Kurdish brothers in North Dakota cause Canada to invade our northern border? Will tax-hating southern Republican religious conservatives begin planting roadside bombs and going door-to-door with machetes and hack liberal, government-supporting atheists into little pieces, starting with Warren Buffet?
Is partition coming soon in Texas? Will NATO garrison troops across the country in case things get out of control?
See, it’s sentences like the one I quoted that don’t let me put aside the notion that you are invested in something other than reality.
