I continue to feel the Doom. I vacillate, however, between despair for the future and the crazed hope that this excellent Salon piece has a rational grasp on the American zeitgeist. I sometimes dare to entertain the timorous hope that the greedheads and idiots are merely the loudest and not the most populous subsection of the electorate, that their lies and slander are just that and not the conventional wisdom they're presented as. I know that the shouting of lies and slander is a tried and true, and not unreasonable, attempt to make that metamorphosis into conventional wisdom, but I pray that this time around, such shouting is only the death throes of a desperate and dying political animal.
But mostly I feel the Doom.

Chance I would jut like you to know I have been practicing sayin you betchya and winking in case they win as it is what my English friends will be expecing and familar with
In that case, practice saying incredibly stupid things that have no basis in fact as well.
I'v had to do this to be similar to W so I have that one pretty much under control. Though I have pick up some new vocabulary like pitbull, joe six pack, hockey mom. I am kind a sad I might have to give up saying Mercins
Wish I could say Greenwald is right, but I'm not that confident of the brains in the American public. I encounter too many koolaid drinkers out here on the internet (and, unfortunately, in real life) to think that we might be wising up. Still, the stock market continues to fall, and schadenfreude continues to grow, so maybe things will turn out "all right" after all.
