I often miss large sections of current news. I once got into a car accident and I did not realize it until my wife called to inform me. She made the discovery mere hours after it happened. In my own defense, it was an easy event to miss, as my car was un-peopled at the time, as was the car it hit. Stupid parking brake! Stupid neutral! Hills!

Let us think of the daily news, weekly news, etc. as a city, and the Neanderthal as one of its citizens, and I as another. When Bob Bennett, as I call him facetiously, tried to create a ban on children consulting doctors, as is often the case, I was out of town. It sounds very intriguing, though. Tell me more!

I feel sorry for the few honest, sane men left in that tent. There's a place for principled conservatism, but it is not apparently within today's GOP.

Long-term, winning the Senate is the worst thing that could happen to them. Owning the Senate would force them to govern, and you can't govern with slogans. Besides, divided government almost always makes the President look saner by comparison, and a continuing recovery is going to make him look pretty good anyway.

Both elections are a long way off. But from what I can see in my cracked and cloudy crystal ball, the Republicans will win a few seats in 2010, and fall under a steamroller for 2012. It will take them a full generation to recover.
