Hello, World. I'm back.
It's taken a while, but these raucous "town meetings" over health insurance reform have raised my ire. My dander is up bigtime. To wit:
Q: Who is so misinformed as to think the majority of Americans are stupid and can't see the difference between manipulated frenzy and honest debate?
A: The right-winged fringe, apparently, and their key leaders across the land: Sarah Palin, Charles Grassley (who knew??), Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Fox News cable crowd. A fine mix of flirting and farting, if ever the mix were defined!
Count me out--unless, that is, I can participate in the way Montanans managed to pull off in Belgrade, MT yesterday. The President's appearance there was a fine example of honest citizen inquiry and legitimate official reply. Let's have more of THAT and less of the screaming, hating and threatening crowds. They're dangerous to democracy, frankly.

The lunatic fringe is alive and well and their flames are easily fanned by Rush and cohorts. Just when I think Republicans have reached a new low, they surprise me with planted malcontents at these meetings. I almost wish the media would not cover these outbursts.
