NPR. At it again.
Today I was driving to work and caught NPR.
One line in particular struck me. The newscaster was talking about the sequester, noting that the world had not ended, there had been no rains of blood, nor frogs, he added that these dire consequences had been predicted by *The Republican Party*!
Now, excuuuuuuse the hell out of me, but isn't it The Won who's been going around, holding campaign-style gatherings, and attempting to scare the country into pressuring *The Republican Party* into going along with his plans?
In other words, NPR just broadcast some news that was 180 degrees at variance with reality.
You know, a lie.
What was really funny about this is the next thing you know, Cokie Roberts, or Nina Totenberg, I can't keep them straight, was on talking about how it was The Won who'd been out predicting collapse, and he was now having to walk that dog back. Still, at some point, *The Republican Party* was going to regret denying The Won his way.
What NPR won't mention is that The Thug is out to destroy *The Republican Party*, turning the USA into one large California. Recognizing an existential threat, Boehner, et al., have decided to fight. For the moment, anyway. I fully trust the country club branch of the GOP to ruin things for us all. The Republican tactic is to give The Thug nothing he wants, so he can experience the misery that is most second terms: he'll get none of his current agenda, while the insanity of the last four years catches up.
Oh, and in the meantime, the country gets to discover that The Thug is actually Chicken Little, and gets to start ignoring him at best, and mocking him at worst.
