If nothing else, Tuesday’s elections across the nation proved that anger and ignorance have achieved co-dependent bliss. The real winner was Fox Generation, the coterie of corporate money and legal lies. In Pennsylvania, Arkansas and Kentucky, the outcomes of of primaries provided further evidence - if you need it - that voters are in the mood to choose "outsiders" over "insiders". Next time you need heart surgery, be sure to ask for a fresh new face uncorrupted by medical school "insiders" to work on your valves. The thing about "insiders" is they tend to know how to do their jobs. "Outsiders" tend to know how to incite the ignorant with rhetoric that owes its force to Country & Western lyrics. Representatives such as Joe Sestak, who defeated White House-backed Arlen Specter, owe little or nothing to their parties. Coalition building skills fall by the wayside when more candidates come to Washington equipped with deck-building skills. Big-monied special interest groups armed with corporate Personhood are recruiting and funding could recruit and fund candidates whose motto, 'Stupid And Proud Of It' would actually fly.
