I’m afraid that, as crazy as the right wing is, sometimes it seems that the left wing is just plain dazed and confused.

I’m not sure why NPR thinks that it’s a “revolutionary act” for someone to be at an Occupy Wall Street protest, on her own time (as she says).

This reminds me of early 2010, when it took Nancy Pelosi’s Democratic Congress over a month to simply pass Obama’s health care bill, which had already been passed by the Senate. Why the holdup? Because Republican Scott Brown had just been elected to the Senate (in a special election), so now the Democrats controlled the Senate by “only” 59-41. But so what? The bill HAD ALREADY PASSED the Senate! But for no reason that I can figure out, this put health care reform in limbo for another entire month.

Obviously, these days, the right wing is more “in your face” with their craziness. But the left wing has its own problems!
