I don't even want to look at the news today.

I am burned out. I am tired of being a member of a party that is so totally fucking incompetent at standing up for itself. We pissed away the opportunity handed us in the 2008 election. We were unable or unwilling to make use of the mandate we had. We spent two years bending over backward trying not to offend anyone, knuckling under to the fake offense generated by the right-wing media, and utterly failing to make our case, in anything approaching a compelling way, to the American people.

I. Am. Tired.

I think what bothers me as much as anything else is this: Jon Stewart once ran a segment showing that multiple Republican leaders said one thing at one time, and said the complete opposite when doing so helped Republicans.

Now... why do we need a *comedian* to point out that these people are two-faced? That's the job of a journalist. At least, it used to be.
