re: #29 Killgore Trout

With legislation that has no chance of passing there’s usually a coordinated effort that allows a certain number of legislators to vote for the sole purpose of pandering to certain demographics. Just like when Obama as a senator voted against raising the debt limit. He did it, not because he actually believed that it was a good idea to not raise the limit, but because he wanted to pander to the anti-Republican masses who helped him get elected a few years later. It’s just a method to pander to idiots.

Yanno, I bemoan the lack of nuance in both wingnuts and emoprogs, but I have to say it occasionally pops up in the overly-cynical as well.
