Nick Gillespie(via Instapundit):
I want my reality back. I don't know when it went missing. But I want it back.
No kidding. It seems that the absurdities are coming harder and faster than ever. From President Obama receiving the Nobel Peace Prize simply for being elected, to the Saudis demanding development aid if the world buys less oil, to the clip that Gillespie shows where an Obama administration official actually had the gall to say that Mao is one of her favorite political philosophers back in June, it has been a week of one absurdity arising after another.
The problem is not the absurdities themselves. The problem is that we have a political class that is batshit crazy and actually believes that the absurd has merit. Most of the time we the people can insulate ourselves from this crap to at least a reasonable degree. The anger and fear that is palpable now stems from the realization that these idiots are working hard to ensure that there will be no escape from the absurd.
