Every several decades, give or take, a giant crack forms in the North American continent and a tectonic shift in American politics grips the nation. Political institutions are subject to entrophy, like everything else in the universe.
Ponder this. What if we are on the cusp of such a shift, and have no idea it’s about [...]

In the wake of new revelations about who Dick Cheney thinks Dick Cheney is (hint: petulant, but evil, six-year-old who doesn’t have parents), you may have seen Rahm Emmanuel’s new graphic of How The Government Works.
He is wrong. I diagram here the CORRECT chart.
Up until now, nothing scared me more about the Bush Administration than [...]
