This is what the sequester looks like. (h/t Congressional Progressive Caucus)
I want to be smug about this, but Harper’s been throwing around pork like it was baconalia or something.

Looks like someone rolled a critical fumble. Maybe one day the Republicans’ll start heeding Goldwater’s warnings.

Political cartoon
Anyone who thinks we live in a pure democracy has no idea what that even means. Or how our government works. We’re a democratic republic where we vote for people to represent us. Which would work pretty well, if it weren’t for the whole lobbyist/corporate interests thing.
Talking about democracy and its merits always makes me think of two quotes:
“Measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority.” - Madison
“It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried.” - Churchill
-Jess

That’s not what it looks like at all.
The circus depicted is the petty cash of the stock market.
The big money comes from owning a computer that makes thousands of trades per second and only catches losses on two or three of them. Millions of dollars a minute.
The computers drive the stock market.
With their own profit motive.
The worst part is the people gambling with the supercomputers.
