We'll rant and we'll roar, like policy bloggers...*

I'm going to ask you to indulge me and please visualize, for a moment, the image of a sailing ship on the high seas (call it, oh, the Good Ship Democratic Party). In that ship's hold is a large conglomeration of various boxes, crates, shipping cartons, barrels, 50 gallon drums, all of which have been lashed tightly together in an intricate spiderweb of ropes and cables. The entire load is of uneven density and composition, hence the lashing: if the ropes snap, the ship's center of gravity will go haywire, causing problems for the captain, and possibly even capsizing the unlucky vessel. But there are a good number of ropes and cables, and while the weather is getting foul outside, they're still holding...
SNAP! (Via Captain Ed)
Well, the seas are getting a little rough out there. Probably still be OK for the ship, right?

*Adieu and farewell, to you real-life ladies
Adieu and farewell, you patient SO's
To the 'sphere we are going, and soon we'll knowing
The stories two days ere all of the rest knows.
We'll rant and we'll roar, like policy bloggers
We'll rant and we'll roar, with vigor and spleen
Until we take sigh, of the dawning day-light
As once again up all the night we have been.
...or something like that.
and the Iraq War coupled with BDS is the white whale--and it's gonna sink 'em. There's a shame.
