The United States of Balkania

Allowing for cognitive bias, I see nothing on the horizon that makes my scenario of America's dismantling less likely as time goes on.

I have sort of settled into seeing people as proto-citizens of new countries. It makes a lot more sense of their beliefs, attitudes and behavior.

Looking back, I begin to think how odd, if not crazy, it was and is to imagine that peoples so adversarially different from each other could ever have been considered fellow-countrymen just because they find themselves inside the same borders.

Men as opposite from each other as Jefferson and Lincoln both knew this.

Obama botches spelling of "respect" while lauding Aretha Franklin - CBS News:

Aren't we glad that we have in The Affirmative Akshun First (Haff) Black Prezident such a brilliant man, who illuminated us about the 57 states and the existence of a hitherto undiscovered Austrian language and the little known Cuatro de Cinco holiday? Aren't we glad that illiterate moron Bush is gone (even though his college transcripts or his wife's are not under lock and key...)

God, what a payaso.

And payasos elected him. Dos veces.

Pardon me

if I don't give a f***, not about "what Mormon women want" --although it's not high on my list of interests-- but about what "Kantor and Goodstein" of the "NYT" have to say about it.

Mollie Ziegler Hemingway: The Dalai Lama's Capitalist Contradictions - WSJ.com:

I don't see any reason why Dolly L's (or Francis The Talking Pope's) opinions about economics should be given one whit more credence than his opinions about how to perform surgery or engineer a city infrastructure.

Compassion, blah, blah, blah.

Shut up. All of Your Holinesses.

"Together, Hannah’s spineless beta male father and her indulgent co-dependent mother have quite literally created a monster. An attention-hording, sugar-chomping, friend-abusing, weakness-exploiting little asshole of a monster."

How to surrender

The Terms of Our Surrender - NYTimes.com:

Catholic conservative is surprised the those who resist Gay Marriage are treated as if they were David Duke.

I got news for Mr Douthat: any resistance to the New Religion will be treated as such.

Cause that's the Central Dogma.
