| [WashingtonPost] Losing a hard-fought battle confers no dishonor, but losing a badly chosen battle is embarrassing. And then there’s ridiculous. Into the last category goes the decision to close the nation’s monuments to make sure that the government shutdown strikes the hearts of all The American People, whose constant invocation by pandering politicians fills one with self-loathing. (Who wants to be an “American People,” given the quality of our spokesfolksen?) |

| #1 What about winning a badly chosen battle? Because that's what I see - no degree of idiocy seems to affect their ability to impose their will. If anything, the fact that they keep getting away with more and more outrageous things emboldens them: it may not be long before they conclude they can dissolve the Constitution and establish a new 'Republic.' |
