Massa said he is resigning with a "profound sense of failure and a deep apology to all those whom, for the past year, I tried to represent as our nation struggles with problems far greater than anyone can possibly imagine."

By "anyone" does he mean: his constituents, the public at large (dulled on bread and circuses), or even the people who strive to be well-informed (those who lurk/post here and in similar venues)?

Off the top of my head, I'd say he's seen something terrible that most of the rest of us haven't, and I can't imagine what it is, short of slavery and/or war.

My guess is that he is being a drama queen. I would be more inclined to believe there is a secret about him waiting to come out, rather some terrible secret just ahead of us.

When the Bret Bair show stated this, they put the text on the screen. I backed it up and read it again, and it really got my attention. Seems like he’s really trying to tell us something, and I don’t at all get why he feels like he has to retire- HE’s a DIM, they don’t have to quit because of sex things...something is coming down, I think, and he knows what it is.
