THE HORSE TALKERS

The Koch Bros. issue one mild reading between the lines missive and all of a sudden the unruly children are picking up the play area. Amazing what a few billion dollars can do to refocus the political mind, especially one whose place in power has been bought by that same money in the first instance and whose only economic alternative is as a shoe or car salesman. (Does the blatant ignorance of these Tea Party representatives not scare you?) - Of course it is great fun to manipulate the gullible voters through their prejudices and mythologies, and to hype the evils of "big government" when in pursuit of lower taxes and stymying regulation of your extraction industries etc., if you are a self-centered billionaire, but a whole lot less fun when the morons you have sold to the gullible public start to really act on all that BS you have underwritten them to say; threatening to turn the world economy and all your vested wealth into a vapor of chaos, which is were everything goes in the absence of rational government. I love the laundry list of government agencies the Reps. have been feverishly voting to reopen, it reminds one of Perry's debate, as it would seem that even collectively now, they can't remember what part of the government it was that we did not need.
