I don’t dispute Dennis G’s simple take on the mid-term elections:

In November we face a choice between the Confederate Party and modernity.

But sweet baby jeebiz, that’s a downer. If “modernity” is defined as the corporate crony Democrats currently overseeing two wars, Plan Mexico, and a continuation of police state policies created by the previous administration, I can only hope that we are in the late capitalist stage my po-mo professors talked about when I was in college.

Yeah, I know: shut up and ride a bike.
