Of course, I'm referring to "Piggy" in "Lord of the Flies" and to Sen. Carl Levin's painful justification for siding with Republicans today against Sen. Harry Reid and the Democrats.

I couldn't resist, even if this has been diaried, because it's so head-slapping awful and incomprehensible. The headline pretty much tells the story. And it's NOT snark. Join me under the orange scrawl.

The horrors being faced by Oklahoma will require plenty of federal help, expertise and assistance. Without a doubt this should be provided without delay - well, without excessive delay. First, Democrats and the few sane Republicans left must have their say.

OK, so I walk into a shoe repair shop today looking for a fast couple of stitches to secure a loose piece of boot leather and a new pair of shoelaces.
At first, all I could hear was the angry whine of the grinding machine smoothing a shoe. Then I recognized another angry whine, louder and more annoying:
The blasting, bombastic bass voice of Rush Limbaugh, ranting and pontificating to the world through a radio dialed up to "11."

Tuesday was an exciting day for Democrats, as the first victories were registered in the beginning of the presidential campaign that will smash the Republican stranglehold on our nation. Ohio, Michigan, even Mississippi Dems had plenty cheer about. Hell, we all did. Tuesday was a GREAT day.

But you know those stories.

Yet I can't help but be struck by this tiny, but perhaps equally significant victory in a school district in Arizona. More below the filigree.

Last night, watching the Republican debate, my stomach turned. This was truly one of the most sickening sights I can remember, watching this cabal of GOP know-nothings and dangerous dingbats gleefully flaunting their bigotry, stupidity and bile across a stage in a forum seen by millions in this country and around the world.

Tonight, the American people will get a chance to meet another man, one who stands against these lunatics, the ONLY ONE who is capable of marshalling the forces of good, science, knowledge and true patriotism for the advancement of our nation, now mired in a terrible recession-depression.

Mr. President, I humbly beseech you, don't let this opportunity pass without making the most of it.

My conclusion below.

A comment in a recent but unfortunately unremembered diary prompted me to publish a Labor Day weekend diary requesting you all to check your memory banks and try to recall any and all instances of Right Wing and even Left Wing "Faux Outrage" directed against the president since he took office.

What I'm looking for are examples of how ordinary news and unguarded presidential moments, as well as minor snafus, had been puffed up into the infamous "shiny objects" that deflected mainstream media news coverage from worthwhile coverage.

A few examples beneath the pretty wiry filligree

Mr. President, reading the diaries and comments on the Daily Kos is heart-breaking these days.
It has to be evident to you that much of your liberal your base is demoralized, disappointed and shocked at the events of recent days, a dismal state that whether true or not, has been enhanced by the growing perception that your handling of the issues has been inept at best or cowardly at worst.
In short, Mr. President, if left untended, it is my opinion as one of your defenders, that this breach with your liberal base endangers your presidency and your re-election.
Therefore, I propose an historic summit meeting with liberal representatives from outside the beltway. Among these, the founder of this site, Markos, must be included.

I hate to upset the media narrative applecart about the GOP race and its limited possibilities. That is, that we have heard from all the possible candidates who will be leaning into the pig trough that is the Republican 2012 field.
However, this morning the window opened up to allow a new bet in the Grand Obstuctionist Party's sweepstakes ...
