Anyway, I can't help but feel like when Paul Ryan uses a word like "straw man" it's like "oh my goodness, did you just learn a big word???" and pat him on the head. I'm starting to get why dim-bulb conservatives think he's such a genius - but becoming more and more puzzled why anyone who isn't unbelievably stupid thinks that, when his charade is so obvious.

Being open to new ideas, being willing to set aside your brainwashing, your idealogy, your pet hates, your favorite firebrands, and seek truth and fresh opportunity is not exactly a conservative trait.

the TDS is redundant, like "ATM machine" is redundant.

I'd actually give credit more to Fox news and its rise to prominence in the TDS era. They directly give the TDS almost as much material and also enable the GOP to get away with their absurdity. There is of course a correlation between the two, and in some ways are one in the same.

I know it started during the Clinton administration, but it didn't really rise above the level of popular to become its current cultural powerhouse until W & Co. started fucking things up left, right and center, providing TDS with an overflowing buffet of material. So maybe we should be thankful the GOP is as awful as it is. Right?

Ha! I'm just kidding. If I have to choose, I'd rather have a functioning society than an entertaining political satire show.
