I saw an interview where Bill quipped "You know how we balanced the budget? We used a little thing called 'arithmetic'."

  Imagine a candidate who could make a quick, sharp and accurate quip. Out here in the wider world, American elections are more terrifying every time they come around.

  That one of the two American political parties believes they can lower the deficit by cutting taxes (primarily for the wealthy but that's immaterial to the basic math here) has always created some sense of unreality for me; I really no longer understand what the goal is for many of these people and I often think that they don't really know either. It's almost pure nihilism except when it comes to lust for power.

    It's much less deep then nihilism. Their goal is simply to live their life as richly as they can at the expense of those they consider less than themselves. They are the wealthy and they act accordingly. Why anyone sees Republicans as anything else boggles my mind. Anyone who isn't a billionaire and is voting Republican may as well be a turkey voting for Thanksgiving.
