Wow, watching Keith Olbermann’s special comment tonight [“Are YOURS the actions of a true American?”] <deep breath> I felt for the first time in years <hairs standing on end> that the nuclear warhead of truth has finally been detonated inside the alien mothership.

What happens next is the slow-motion annihilation of this ship of death, its fiery chunks falling to earth, the sun washing the sky of its brooding malevolence, and just in the nick of time.

On the one hand, after year upon grinding year, saying this out loud now sounds like unwarranted hope. OTOH what I experienced during this comment I experienced viscerally, and to me an unconscious whole-body response like this reveals more has happened than just words being spoken.

“The federal government needs to be returned to an earlier era, when more executive-branch positions went to career civil servants who didn’t need to be confirmed and didn’t owe their jobs to college roommates.”

The extent of my silence lately surprises even me, someone who doesn’t say much anyway.
