YOUR HANDY GUIDE TO THE WARRING CRANKS, IN THE GOP RANKS
As recently reported in The New York Times, Republicans are in a virtual circular firing squad, already assigning blame for their expected disastrous showing in the midterms.

Kinda’ makes you reconsider your stance in favor of gun control.

But just how do these factions break down? True, they all share the common goal of ruining this country, but differ in their means to accomplish this end. As David Frum, a former Bush speechwriter, put it: “There’s a battle between people who say ‘your tax cuts wrecked our war,’ and people who say ‘your war wrecked our tax cuts’.”

Since it’s hard to tell the betrayers without a program, here’s your handy guide to sorting out the riff from the raff, and the chaff from the chaff:

NeoConus Armageddonus: Invade foreign countries without rhyme or reason, until the United States is demoralized, bankrupt, morally compromised, and unable to deal with domestic needs or real foreign threats.

TaxCutasaurus: Mindless tax-cuts for the wealthiest one percent, until the United States is demoralized, bankrupt, fiscally compromised, and unable to deal with domestic needs or real foreign threats.

3. This Would Be Funny If It Weren't Exactly True
When the jokes are on the regular news, and the real news is on the comedy shows, when the foxes are in charge of the henhouse, what's a patriotic citizen to do?
