An Infinitely Unproductive Post

Watch as I shamelessly steal Sifu Tweety’s entire post, without offering a single observation of my own:
The GOP has mastered an error condition in the political process, an infinite loop of abstraction that drains all meaning from political speech. They don’t have to focus on meaning, really, at all, they just turn up the burbling nonsense until we all descend past the noise machine event horizon into infinitely unproductive debate, never to re-emerge. This is how we progressives (rationalists?) keep ending up on the sucker side of the media war with the right: we’re still using the old paradigm of meaning and they’re busily deploying the equivalent of malware and DOS attacks.
Since I’m in a stealing way, have a look at this picture I’ve stolen from Will Bunch:
For now, I’ll resist the overwhelming urge to post a picture of a cute little panda to offset the presence of Big Time’s sneering, ass faced visage (I repeat). The pandas deserve better.

Thanks for the pic-it’s one of the rare times I got to laugh and throw up in my mouth a little at the same time. Luckily - no major cleaning episode had to follow.

Nothing like a little puke in your giggle, I suppose. I’ll admit, freely, that I’ve never quite acquired the taste, but to each their own.
