Well, I often have to agree that this blog is unreal. It seems that I have to reinvent it every time I write another post, and it always changes, like some amorphous alien being. However, I'm not sure that's what Frank meant in the comment.
You are right, of course, to make fun of the much used cliche of comparing every impending political disaster to the burning of the Reichstag. But in the case of the Democrat shenanigans in Congress to ram through their monster health care bill, I do think it is the right one to use.
I visit this site to get a sense of reasoned outrage when things like this are on the horizon. We've watched while more and more private decision making is taken away. Both political parties are to blame.
But the health care bill's byzantine progress through the legislative process seems to have crossed a line.
The outrage is there on the right. But coupled with it is a hands rubbing glee at the prospect of political gain in November.
It's almost as if they are wishing this thing to become law. Just like the left, they are disconnected from the reality of what this will mean to the average person.
Do they think that a few tweaks here and there after passage will right the injustice?
Forget the sarcasm and irony. Is that all we have left?

My problem is that I have been thinking too much about burning natural gas
To consider burning Reichstags. Or should that be rice tags? Is it a Chinese plot disguised as a German plot which was disguised as a Communist plot? Well the Chinese are communists so it is possible.
Maybe the Japanese are behind it and running a false flag operation to blame the Chinese. Now there IS a plot.
A graveyard rice tag plot.
If there are head stones involved, for sure the dopers are behind it. Japanese dopers. Who are planning to invade from Mexico.
I know the Germans once planned to invade from Mexico so it all fits.
Wait, when did we get a Reichstag?
Why am I always the last to know?
