QUOTE OF THE DAY
“Most newly minted “independents” seem to be little more than Republicans who are fleeing the scene of their crime.
Like German soldiers after the fall of Berlin, they have stopped running away from the catastrophe they created only long enough to burn their uniforms.”
Driftglass in a truly stupendous post analyzing the state of “Independents” in our political discourse, as well as a recent bit of typical David Brooksian idiocy in the New York Times on the subject.

Pray tell Mr. Scott, What do you do for a living exactly? I’m guessing…. retired financier after the good ole’ war days?

You’ve got the retired part right Dan. But it’s retired hoor and not financier — although, come to think of it, being a financier is exactly the same as being a hoor isn’t it?
