Hey, your "counter-fisking" post is the only one on your blog with a busted "Post a Comment" link. COINCIDENCE...? I've got political capital, and I intend to spend it! Fix that there page, or CONFESS that you FEAR the ungodly power of my reply!
Des, I have no idea why. Blogger gives you the option to turn off comments, but I didn't. I knew you'd be up at 4 in the morning formulating a reply.
One other point I wanted to make about obstructionism. I contend that the GOP swept into power by spelling out precisely what they'd do (or at least vote on) in 1994. The blind obstructionism that almost reversed the gains of the Contract with America came in 1996 when Gingrich shut down the government. Everybody perceived it as petty gamesmanship and the GOP lost a couple seats in the mid-term elections, defying the normal political history.
Politicians aren't grade-schoolers and can't just cry "no" without offering an alternative.
One other thing: if you're so inclined to leave these long posts, why not just start your own blog? I might start another one called "Baseball is a dying sport."
