It's the same requirement as any rock concert I ever saw in my life: blow me the fuck away. My standards are high and I'm hard to impress but tell me you don't look for the same thing. The Internet is much more brutal in that way than, say, a newspaper since you will probably read the newspaper because you paid two bits to get it. With the Internet, if it doesn't grab you in one sentence or less, you're gone and that article is Alpo.
Jessica Valenti of The Guardian is the one who amuses me the most for this as she has an incredible knack for writing an intro to guarantee there's no chance you will read the article. Example: I'm a feminist but I still look hot in tight blue jeans.
Well, who wouldn't want to read that.
It would be good if feminists got a bit of a grip on feminism. Just a thought.
Boehner has made it for something I never would have anticipated. It touched me that Pope Francis touched him. I did review again what he said when he announced his resignation and it satisfied the requirement: blow me the fuck away. I do believe he was touched and his tears were authentic.
Boehner's departure has the secondary effect of putting dealing with the Tea Party in the hands of the people. The GOP and the country are severely damaged by their arrogance and this is precisely as Goldwater warned about fifty years ago. There's no way to deal with people like that. He was a Republican; the Tea Party has zero Republicans.
Ted Cruz is excellent at pretending to be a Republican but this only makes him the equivalent of a political Trojan Horse. He and Rubio and the like are political greaseballs in expensive suits who are excellent at telling people exactly what they want ... but ... they're the same ones who have been shutting down Congress ... repeatedly.
In talking with my conservative friend, the problem lands square on the people who have been filling Congress with political driftwood with no more motivation then the next graft check. Ted Cruz serves well as he's a Harvard graduate but he plays the tent revivalist to the right audience ... and they eat it up. The question to my conservative friend is how did Americans become so non-discerning.
He doesn't know either. The final position for both is We, the People, have to deal with the Tea Party and you see how intellectual somnolence has overtaken the country, largely through the efforts of the Tea Party.
Note: feel free to hammer the patriotism of either one of us but do be prepared to tell me what is patriotic about the Tea Party shutting down the government and gutlessly blaming it on Boehner one time after the other.
Some hoot at driving people away from the blog but it's not my purpose to recruit every Tom, Dick and Harry for this. If you're Tea Party, you will only waste my time. My conservative friend is hard-core Republican and we come to deals all the time. I'm as socialist as you will ever get but I can deal with Goldwater. As to the Tea Party, see above.
