The older I get, the less cool I think it is to be alieanted. But, really, some things deserve at least a little distance. Someone wrote me offlist yesterday saying "You really hate Obama, don't you?" I don't hate him. But he's just a Democrat, not some quasi- revolutionary semi-Messiah. It's the intensity of the delusions surrounding him that surround him that drive me crazy. He's not going to dismantle the American empire, or move the gini index more than a few tenths of a basis point, if that.
