Baudelaire shoulda' met today's GOPer yokels; their world goes round (not completely sure about that, even?) totally divorced from reality.
Two cases in point: I'm stuck on the road this week, so I saw USA Today in the breakfast lounge. Their headline?: "Biblical flooding becoming more common"!! Now WTF does a collection of fantasy have to do with today's flooding?!?
Number two:

Why does reality-based wording matter less in today's world than some
person'scorporation's deeply-held belief in an imaginary flying-spaghetti-monster playmate?One final thought, if people are made in the image of God, is God a corporation? Who's on His board of directors? Can we talk about some kind of pay-for-performance goals?
Geico does insurance – it's what they do.
Republicans lie – it's what they do nearly every day about nearly everything:
It's obvious the press has great hesitation in using the word "liar". So do websites like Colorado Pols, because bipartisanship.
A lie is a fricking lie and we and everyone need to call the Lying Liars out, just like Al Franken did. They won't tell the truth just because it's, you know, it's true. And if it takes some explaining, then explain it. If it takes documentation, take it down to Fedex and blow it up to 1000% and show it.
Republican Sociopathic (a person with a personality disorder manifesting itself in extreme antisocial attitudes and behavior and a lack of conscience, e.g. that means as a group they "hate society") neglect of infrastructure and their determination that no one should pay taxes*:
Colorado's Republican congressional delegation is the same way. It's disgusting, it's not "conservative" in any way, and it's wrong.
* – this is the logical conclusion to the fact that the fight any tax increase, they fight any loophole closure, they fight having corporations pay taxes on profits already taken overseas.
Remember back when Bush the Elder called it voodoo economics when Reagan was campaigning for the nomination on tax cuts that were supposed to improve the economy so much that there would be lots more revenue, plenty for everything we need?
Since taxes on the top brackets are now much lower than Reagan ever dreamed of and have been for ages, we should be rolling in revenue, so much so that a ridiculous surplus should be the problem, just like Bush the Younger foresaw shortly before he powered throught the surplus he inherited from a Dem and sent the economy crashing straight through the sub-basement, right after ignoring all the warnings about an imminent threat and letting the most serious, high fatality terrorist attack of all time on American soil happen on his watch, while chuckling about all those Nervous Nellies with their hair on fire nagging him about some intel Condi promised was just "historical" information.
Clearly, we don't need any new relief packages for anyone. According to conservative trickle down projections there should be more than enough money for every need, must have been for a couple of decades by now. Better check those dams again because, clearly, trickle down must have been producing more than enough revenue all these years to keep them and our roads, bridges, energy grid and schools all in tip top shape. They're fine. And things will get even better under Jeb! because he doesn't think big bro went far enough.
More cuts for the rich and more of that sweet, sweet trickle down should produce an even more embarrassing surplus of riches and a BMW in every garage. Unless, of course, Bush the Elder was right about the whole voodoo thing and his sons are morons. Ya think?
Ya think maybe they've been pissing on our legs all these years while telling us…. of course that's not piss, guys! Sure it's warm and yellow, kind of like piss, but it's really delightful, refreshing, golden trickle down! It's all good! Except we need more cuts and subisidies for the rich. Trust us. You'll be fine.
Did someone say Trump Hat? Hey, let’s all make our own Donald Trump hats.
