I don’t think the “crazies” of the GOP are any different, policywise, from the mainstream, they’re just a bit more uncouth. They shriek instead of dogwhistle, say what they actually think instead of speaking in code.
I don’t know if you saw my tweet about Karl Rove beginning the Five Stages of Grief, but it appears I was not alone in noticing this. He’s an article from Slate called "The Five Stages of Conservative Grief."
Here’s another good article I found on Slate about altruism in the aftermath of Frankenstorm, and the myths of chaos and panic in the result of disasters.
@Mack – That was very good. I watched most of that in real time. When I’m live blogging, Fox News is great because there is always something to write. MSNBC can be kind of boring: they’re so constrained by facts.
