I think the bar here is a whole ot higher than the bar...well....pretty much everywhere else on the internet.
We all have our passions and political leanings (except perhaps you, Alex) that make us feel better about the stupidity that goes on on our own particular sides of the aisle than the other, and make it easier to point out the stupidity on the other side. If we agree in sentiment it is easier to empathize with the stupid person than it is if we don't.
Back to "raising the bar" a bit....I can read certain portions of the 1018 page house health care bill and see where certain deductions can be made even if I didn't come to the same conclusion, and granted a lot of it is spin. I've come across a list of some 100 points about the bill and outrageous claims made, and some I can read that way and others I don't. Some I agree with. I think the major problem is that much of it is open to broad interpretation and some of it could lead to blatant abuse by the government.
Some fear insurance companies and drug companies. I fear the government more.
