[Sir Napsalot]

Thanks for the VDH ping.

As most of us (even libs, I suspect) can see the decline quite clearly, few can put it like VDH.

This is the last binge on Titanic, even though some have prepared, but circumstances might still sweep us away.

Quite depressing reading from FR, really.

“Failure accumulates gradually and then its effects become manifest all of a sudden. The slow part is nearly over. ....” (Richard Fernandez, Belmont Club, 2/13/2013) Wretchard was writing about Iran/Hezzbollah/Syria, Pakistan/NoKo and foreign affairs elsewhere.

However, the exact same words can be said about our current State of the Union. As Belmont Clubers like to say the ‘design margin’ had been completely (or almost completely) eroded away.

Not long to wait for "something" to happen now. And why the Feds and Obama Gang are in such a frenzy state.
