The End of the World As We Know It

Uhh...

Well, the Coakley/Brown Thing has put something of a cherry on the top of all the horrors lately.

Imagine it. After fifty years -- no, more than fifty years, well more -- of A Kennedy representing Massachusetts in the Senate, some middle-aged still-hunky wingnut dude, beloved by the Teabaggers, will be declaming from the Well of The Senate on his opposition to everything the Kennedys were (supposedly) for.

The World Turned Upside Down.

And there was another big earthquake, though not quite as big as the big one the other day, in Haiti, putting the survivors there into another well-justified panic.

Of course the Teabaggers and their sponsors will take this ball and run with it for all it's worth, it's what they do.

The rest of us get to watch; that's what we do.
