Over the last couple of days I have been witness to one of those continuing conversations that can only occur in the one dimensional space that is the internet. You know the kind-that actually go back and forth reasonably well-until the zealot shows up. The zealot of course being that

The way our Galtian overlords think.
Paul Ryan as CEO of a major multi-national corporation:

James Fallows makes a great point-its time to put the blame where it belongs. On the spoiled children of the GOP who would rather take the economy down than do the right thing. It may be time for President Obama to give a “This is bullshit” speech about the debt-ceiling
Continue readingThe phony war.
It seems the spoiled children just can’t get enough attention. A group of House GOP freshmen will appear at the White House tomorrow morning with a letter demanding the president present a written plan detailing his ideas for deficit reduction. Sadly-my own douchebag of a Congressman,
