At least some of the outrage that courses through the American psyche today derives from recognition of our shredded values of justice, and whether we can still claim we are a nation of law when our leaders suffer no consequences for their crimes.
For your bumpers. Australopithecus Republicanus boisei brain-buckets must die off. Frank Rich. The tsunami of populist rage coursing through America is bigger than Daschle’s overdue tax bill, bigger than John Thain’s trash can, bigger than any bailed-out C.E.O.’s bonus. It’s even bigger than the Obama phenomenon itself. It could maim the president’s best-laid plans and what remains of our economy …

Now that Bush the War Criminal President has been sequestered behind the federally funded gate on the dead end street in Preston Hollow or whatever the fuck the place is called, conservative revisionists are hard at work trying to erase the reality of the last eight years. And the good toads who were paid to wrap Teh Chimp in pleasing graphics during his campaigns hate to see their good gravy dry up, so they’re marketing a bunch of useless crap to squeeze whatever blood they can out of the 22 percenters who are teh stoopid enough to buy it.
In Roman mythology the deity Janus is represented as having two faces, one looking forward, one backward. He presides over doors, and beginnings.
