Alterman exactly conveys why I'm feeling boggled
In today's Altercation, he starts out by saying, "When reality confronts ideology in this administration, reality had better get out of the way fast. ... you can view just about any one of this administration’s policies and discover an alarming mix of extremism, dishonesty and incompetence that is at once so vast and so dangerous the mind cannot fully synthesize it."

The malAdminstration's logic base is so different from mine, and the scope, callousness and rapidity with which scandal is piled upon outrage has led to severe brain freeze. It's difficult sometimes to get beyond a tired "Oh, shit" when yet another howler comes through. We seriously need some outspoken and effective political leadership to speak some truth to this corrupt power.

(Hope this isn't a dupe; the board's slow and flaky right now)
