Too many of the A-List bloggers operate as though we actually have a functioning democracy and an operative Constitution in this country.  All the insightful diaries, essays and comments in the world aren't going to change the basic fact that money drives this process.  The blogs are important and necessary, but they're not sufficient.  Isolated protests aren't sufficient.  The election of a progressive here and there isn't sufficient.  
   There's been a radical revolution in this country and we know it but somehow think it can be reversed from within a system that is corrupted to the core and eventually corrupts whatever it touches.  If it weren't so sad it would be funny to watch people complain mightily about the lack of courage and commitment on the part of their elected representatives.  Perhaps, now that they're faced with the reality of the problem, they can recognize the options and make their choice:  Detached cynicism, more of the same (remember the definition of insanity) or "hit the streets."
   My money's on "detached cynicism".  It's easy and relatively painless. It also provides a ringside seat to watch the inevitable collapse. It's also an admission of defeat.

Yes, defeat has become the obvious result. Didn't the Clntons have a hand in allowing the consolidation of the media networks and channels to the small number we have today? If Clinton hadn't been hauled into court because of his sex life, his role in the disaster we are living through today would get an honest hearing. The Democrats would be so much stronger if they had thrown off the yoke of the Clintons. Any one who looks forward to Bill back in the white house is looking backwards as the world takes off without us. Can't we see how we are despised and ridiculed because we have squandered everything we had: a country without clothes.
