John Dolan over at The Exile has a mainly depressing post about the state of the US political system:

"When you elect a President because he talks about “walking with God” more loudly and shamelessly than his rival, then you suffer—because you’ve voted for the more shameless candidate. That’s one reason the Right will always win: because they have no sense of shame. Thus they can invoke Jesus as a personal friend in front of a large audience and assert that God likes our country more than any other. It’s very difficult for anyone with a brain or conscience to do that. And the electorate has made it clear it won’t tolerate anyone who won’t share its delusion enthusiastically."

He also has a few very frightening things to say about the Russians and how they feel about The Schrub and his War, something I will touch on in a piece tomorrow.
