We are witnessing the End of an Error.  The quarter-century rule of idiocy 
ushered in by Ronald Reagan is now collapsing due to the world-historical 
blunders of George Bush -- a spectacle I term Bubbadämmerung.  This has 
triggered all sorts of curious transformations, with some of the leftiest 
criticism these days coming from conservatives like Kevin Phillips and Paul 
Craig Roberts, who played key roles in *creating* the fucking mess we're in. 

  It would be nice if "real" lefties were able to regain the initiative for 
hard-hitting, high-profile criticism from these right-wing apostates.
