oh shpadoinkle

we all know how crazy politics can get
but i was wondering:

maybe if we had bob cesca's attitude
(at least in this essay of his, link here)
then more of us would be more engaged.
i think.

an excerpt with more links:

the Republicans appear to be reflexively coughing up the most intellectually violent chunks of hooey on record.
They're screaming about fear-mongering, even though we had eight years of this.
They're screaming about fiscal responsibility, even though we had eight years of this.
They're screaming about free speech, even though we had eight years of this and this and this.

They're honest to God screaming about fascism, even though we had eight years of this and this and this.


and to "have so much fun to watch" all these
makes for a better disposition
than just backing off
or taking no part
or shutting up
or pure apathy.

to be totally apathetic
something so increasingly hard
yet so disturbingly easy to do.
