I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Some Thoughts on the Future

So, now that the Supreme Court has denied the biggest GOP/whackaloon talking point (ie. the "individual mandate" is unconstitutional), I don't expect them to change anything except to say, "We all know it is unconstitutional, no matter what the Supreme Court says" (this has already been done in the comments of some blogs I follow). And I expect that repealing Obamacare/ACA will now replace the economy as the #1 issue for conservative voters. Also, set your spittle shields to maximum, the next few months are going to be like Sea Worlds Splash Zone when it comes to political debate.

Dewey Defeats Truman. And an example of how even the President relies on the news media (which is why is really should be doing a better job). And, of course, ACA passing Constitutional Muster does nothing to slake the thirst of it's opponents. I have a feeling people will also be repealing their past statements. And a picture is worth a thousand words (picture link grokked from John Scalzi - although apparently it's from yesterday).
