aha! the plot thickens. good luck.

I'm posting today from King Barry's post-constitutional dystopia.

[Silentgypsy]

A diagnosis of dystopia does not necessarily imply the need for corrective lenses. However, the two are not mutually exclusive.

[tioga]

Wow, from the Washington Post? I was hoping the left would oppose this.

A++++

My eyes feel better without glasses. It just takes awhile in the morning to get them working right. Thank God for computers and reading devices that allow for increased font size. As the day goes on, this is enough. For everything else, I still have my glasses. Switching back and forth though? Makes it worse. Stinks getting old.

[tioga]

LOL A+++

[tioga]

the wApo’s editor thinks it’s a justifiable power grab. LOL they are so conflicted.

The Obama Regime - forging the path on a quotidian basis through illusory hope and deleterious change to the Great American Dystopia!

Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!

[NeoCaveman]

While it was in the Wash Post, the editorial is by Ed Meese.

[NeoCaveman]

While it was in the Wash Post, the editorial is by Ed Meese.

[tioga]

yeah, and their editorial board takes the stance that it is a justifiable power grab.......so no conflict at all....more drivel for the Obama campaign. at least they didn’t try to ignore it.

[tioga]

I hope we get a change in 2012. A+++

[SoothingDave]

He’s from the era when Democrats believed in the rule of law.

[hobbes1]

WaPo editorially endorsed the morph to Dystopia

Neo's piece was their stab at objectivity...

[tioga]

A+++

that was a twisted piece of foolery. too bad they were dead serious.

[hobbes1]

I thought they abandoned that pretense right after the Nixon Administration.

[NeoCaveman]

The commentators of at the DUmp are loving the new Benito Mussolini Obama.

[tioga]

DU is hardly an intellectually honest place. What can you expect from the moldy basement of a hippie mom and dad?

[SoothingDave]

Don’t know, I was in kindergarten. ;-)
