Has anyone seen my fiddle?
I spend a lot of time on the internet. Being a cubicle slave for 40 hours a week at an undisclosed location affords me a lot of time to read other blogs and even their comments sections. At this one blog in particular a right-wing republican blogger was railing against the reconciliation process being employed by house and senate democrats to pass the health care boondoggle by bypassing the filibuster in the senate. Inevitably one of the commentors calling himself Proud_Liberal was pointing out the republicans in the past used the same tactic to pass tax cut legislation. This of course descended into the typical partisan bickering and name calling that is characteristic of what passes for political discourse in this day and age. The liberal called the conservative a racist. The conservative called the liberal a fascist. This went on and on with the liberal foaming at the mouth about Bush’s push to war in Iraq and Afghanistan followed by the conservative defending a revolutionary standpoint using the health care reform bill as the proverbial final straw. The whole thing was idiotic.
