Unemployed at last.

In the end the medium is the message, and the medium of Glen Beck was hate. Not to mention naked greed. The distribution channel was Fox. No surprise there.

One could have hoped that the half of America’s political system that lost the election would have accepted its loss, and worked on better policy. But with all the energy of the Glenn Becks of the world, why bother?  Absent choherent policy, incoherent hate keeps the Republican ball bouncing. Until as one Fox propagandist put it, something could ‘stick’ to the ‘teflon’ president that could bring him down.

Frustrating as it might be for the Hannity’s of the Fox ‘verse’, the timing is not with them. The timing works against them when the unemployed, the near homeless and the weight of what remains of America’s middle class is being crushed by the consequences of Republican policy.  And in plain terms, a person has to be just plain stupid to cut themselves off from their revenue while increasing their expenditures. Which is exactly what the Bush tax cuts did.

Stupid is as stupid does, to paraphrase the movie.
