One of my favorite putdowns came from a former colleague who hailed from Taiwan. When he was really, really pissed about the performance of a particular piece of equipment or software or company (let's call it Fantexo), he would say, "Fantexo big suck."
Ha ha ha ha ha! Watching Chimpie lie yet again about terrorism in yesterday's speech was almost heart rending...except that I genuinely hate the motherfucker and everything he stands for, so it was really quite delightful. This is a desperate, floundering ass, and he can see the dark, damp, shit-encrusted drain around which he is now circling. The CBS poll released today is unspinnable: 26 percent think the country is headed in the right direction; 69 percent say it is on the wrong track.
Now the question of the week (a new desperate attempt on my own to drum up commentary on this lonely blog): Who the fuck are these 26 percent? Please describe the mindset. All I can figure are people in comas who are asked the question in this way--"If you think the country is on the wrong track, please leap out of bed and do ten jumping jacks. If you think it is on the right track, continue to breathe through your respirator."

Olafski,
It would be a very good thing if the 26% were comatose. Unfortunately, they are among us, driving their SUVs or pickups, talking on their cell phones (loudly), managing many of our workplaces. In other words, I think they are everywhere, in small numbers, not in identifiable pockets.
Their motives and philosophies I will leave to you to divine. I prefer to ask myself who are the 5% of respondents who apparently have no opinion on the direction the country is heading in, or can't make up their minds on the matter? Maybe these are the comatose? One can only hope for a spreading pandemic of comatosity.
Those who watch and believe FOX "News" are functionally comatose--let's home they complete the package by remaining on their couches.
Comatosity... ha ha ha!
