I've noticed this too and I'm likely part of the problem. Its just that the stress of watching the world disintegrate is building. The Left has been planning this revolution for a long time and now that it has commenced, we are all feeling the stress. Let's target the Left rather than ourselves...
What they are is exactly what Hussein was/is, a "community activist". He doesn't want these problems - he's a lazy, shiftless drifter who wanted an easy run playing president.
What they got however is a serious threat to the continuing economic viability of the welfare state. I've said it many times so far, so I'll say it again: when the $USD fails, the welfare state falls.
When those monthly entitlement/support checks stop coming in the mail, just what do you think the inner-city "Katrinans" are gonna do? The military is going to be called out all right, but to restore social order amongst Hussein's own supporters.
The poetic justice is enough to almost make me believe there is a god.
