You know it would be simple (and truthful) to respond to Daiwa's article with a "yeah, yeah we all know it's happening", or "we've see stuff like this before". But you know what? It does bare mentioning, because 6 months or six years from now some loon is going to deny it ever happened. We can't make it acceptable for any political party to forget their complaints when their guy is in charge. Maybe things won't change much but maybe a few will learn not to throw rocks from their glass houses.

Sure it would, but when is anything simple? When is anything intelligent, or logical? We live in a friggin world that isn't simple, and constantly stupid. You would need more than your hands and feet to count the number of people live in irrationality an/or stupidity. We've got idiots on one side claiming one thing, and idiots on the the other said claiming something else. (I'm not only talking about the politicians)
So yeah, it would be simpler, but when is the world ever simple? Or honest? Or driven by accountability?
Be well, ~Alderic
