Politics as usual

I've noticed my leftie friends walking around with a renewed confidence, a spring in their steps, a smile on their lips, a song in their hearts, as events suggest they may not have an impending appointment with the dustbin of history after all. Not only do they provide us with both candidates for president this year, but their old socio-economic role model, the Soviet Union, seems to have miraculously risen from the grave, and is back in business just like during Carters (alleged) administration.

Now we have another chance to re-live those wonderful days of simultaneous double digit unemployment and inflation, to the accompaniment of New York Times editorials lauding the inevitableness of the future Socialist utopia, just around the corner.

A proper overture to all this would be to burn a significant part of downtown Denver to the ground during the convention. I, for one, am rooting for them.
