My cousin died in a war that was never going to work out but it was the right thing to do.

9. What we are witnessing is the adaptation of dominancy to evade destruction.

So that what may initially feel like a magical, validating moment of someone like Glenn Beck accepting a truth is merely his concession, an offering if you will, in order to rebound further into evasion.

I do not see these as victories over the powerful but merely the shifting of interest, a transformation in the true geometric sense, so that the underlying power structure remains intact even if specific points have moved.

In this sense, none of these revelations represent a benevolent shift in the power structure. It is merely the said power structure's evolution.

you sure you did not spike my drink?

I would expect that on my LOCAL Fox station... ok, ok, it is the business station not the mothership. They have less traction than my carpet, but still.

You had to spike my drink. Those drugs are groovy man!

I'm sure he has a lucrative gig lined up somewhere. People like that only ever fail upwards. As for Rush, I wonder how long Koch money is going to keep him on the air now that most of his advertisers have gone?
