Someone, I am sure without Lott's knowledge or blessing I would hope but don't quite believe, has made almost everyone who is sentient and at all interested in politics, aware of that. How could anyone at FR NOT be aware of it, since it has been that premier argument for pronouncing the animated cadaver as still in the game? The odd thing is though, is that most have reached the conclusion that even assuming arguendo that the sword is next to our throats, most are willing to proceed irrespective of that risk. Thus, the specter has ceased to haunt. We have been set free. It is quite liberating, as the dissonance retreats like the mist against a dry Santa Ana wind.
Losing is good and we are Olympic champions.
