What I Saw At The Coup - Matt Bracken

[Kenny Bunk]

IMNSVHO, America's roller-coaster descent into madness began with the theft of the election of 1960 by that deranged purveyor of incandescent bullshiite, JFK and his team.

Eisenhower, by turning a blind eye to widespread fraud, established a precedent for an increasingly weak GOP, which has never developed the media skills of the Democrats. The Republican "Establishment" simply accepts the Democrats as America's default party, allowing them absolute control of the machinery of government on every level, using safe seats to seek only a share of the swag and favors for an elite constituency.

Speaking of roller-coasters, I'd say we're about 3/4 of the way down the Big Dip, beyond which the track has been vandalized.
