it's the morning after the night before and hoosiers have show unusual political wisdom in rejecting a complete fuckhead who tried to steal a senate seat and confirmed their political foolishness by believing that the rest of the elected candidates are really any better...they were just a bit more tactful in their public statements...so after boatloads of money and enough mud slinging to plaster the walls a foot thick nothing substantive has changed...calls for "unity" all around last night but the senate and house are controlled by warring ideological factions and the gridlock that has characterized what passes for government will continue as posturing and rhetoric replace any attempt at forestalling the entropy that has gripped the late empire...sunk capital investments and self-aggrandizement will prevent any sort of political transition to anything like a steady-state, sustainable, low to no growth economy...the voters have cast their ballots and now they can shut the fuck up and let the whores get on with their "important work " ( to borrow a "tail gunner joe" bit of phraseology )...venality and corrupt practice are dominant...and you have to spend money to make money...as linda mcmahon in what? connecticut? i wonder how vince feels about all that cash she spent trying to land a job that would pay off big...meanwhile the rest of us are on our own...when leadership fails you have to lead yourself...plant a garden in the spring and start to think about how we will create the shadow institutions and practices that will allow us to form communities when these idiots collapse...the disconnect is nearly complete...time to move off in a different direction.
