[Former Proud Canadian]

Here is another great one:

The problem with propagandists is that they get so taken in by their own illusion of power, that they stop noticing when no one is paying attention to them. Barely a quarter of the country digested and accepted the swill that the media had poured out over it in 07 and 08. What the public noticed was that there seemed to be a consensus that the One was the one. They didn't notice it by reading every screed that the American heirs to Goebbels were scribbling up at Time and the New York Times. Like a television that is on in the room, while you're vacuuming or doing laundry, they noticed it mainly as background noise in their lives.

Very, very, very well written. Like VDH on testosterone and whiskey.

"McCain nearly denied them that in '08, until the arrival of Sarah Palin

It was interesting until he fell over the edge with this.
