Off-point; you watching C-span1? Very good speeches – new voices – and this resistance is grave and nation-wide. We just can’t continue this way…

Actually no – I was watching last night’s Daily Show/Colber while making cookie dough! (first time actually – next time I’ll buy them)
I think you, my friend, are in a deeply pessimistic place. I recognize that because I’m there with you – I am making myself step away as necessary.

We shared schedule again – I watched DS/CR as well. Reeeally funny that Michael Steele puppet!
And pessimistic – we’re not alone! Found this from chilizza fix:
“Americans are deeply pessimistic about the state of the country and its future, according to a series of new national polls, a negativity that puts politicians in a difficult place as they try to woo voters and keep hold on office.
In the new NBC-Wall Street Journal poll, 63 percent said the country was headed in the wrong direction, the highest number in President Obama’s term to date. A similar 67 percent said the country was headed off on the wrong track in a Washington Post/ABC News survey released earlier this week.”

Those ‘wrong direction’ numbers got to the 60% level during Bush II – for the first time ever. I expected to see that number go down after Bush was gone, but it’s still there. People know how profoundly fucked up things are.

And “wrong direction” could mean so many things.. The president could still do a good job – making things “less” wrong direction. Sadly – that does not seem to be the case. (I’m TRYING to be optimistic – I really am!)
And true about the boys. U know they are on top ratingwise – both for the late shows, but also for cable news and o’reilly in segment 20-50. More than a million each.

And unlike O’Reilly et al, they have a much bigger online audience, not to mention how every extra funny clip goes absolutely viral. How many millions is that I wonder?
