I enjoy reading liberal blogs. Whenever I think I'm becoming too conservative, I cruise over to the lefty blogs. In quicktime, I'm balanced once again. The vociferous and palpable anger and venom at Daily Kos, Huffington Post and others reinforce my sense of center. As long as I'm well to the right of these strange folks, I'm pretty much in center field.
It will certainly be interesting watching the political scene come January. So many of these loony lefties see the election of a Demo Congress as Nirvana. They seem to see massive changes overnight, from hauling the troops out of Iraq to passage of every imaginable left wing piece of legislation. Of course they expect to see the subpoenas flying and Republicans of every stripe grilled without mercy. Impeachment looms just over the horizon in their muddled sense of being in charge.
To be sure, the Democrats will probably raise the minimum wage, but after that, the parade slowly grinds to a halt. The issues confronting Congress are too complex and too messy for the quick fix these delusional liberals envision. The rhetoric will flow, and soundbites will be all over the media. But in the end, the same cranky and muddy business of sausage making will continue. The leftie's sweeping change will be swept under the rug.
Welcome to the NFL new guys.
