Boo.

We have now codified a national policy of private reward for socialized risk. Good job. Congress, I fart on you.

That said, this cartoon struck a nerve with me. I still stand by my actions, such as they are.

resist the sin-snark!

Do not let the old "how dare you be angry about that and not this?" cool your righteous indignation! (a line most commonly used in my experience by those who care about nothing and want to set up a false choice between their way and a level of activism unsustainable to the average citizen.)

The thing is, I am pretty dang angry about a lot of what's gone down over the last eight years, but I never got active to the point of Congress-writing about any of it, before now. I have no good explanation why, and so I see a fair-enough caricature of myself within the snark...

Eh, I suppose I do have some explanations. There's some fool-me-twice happening here, as well as the fact that the ball's being handled by a Democratic-majority congress, as opposed to an out-of-control president and his cronies.

Either way.
