Focused Anger

I was going to call her The Incomparable, but so many on the blogroll are Incomparable that it's practically meaningless unless the comparison is to the wastes of print at the New York Times, naming no names (there are two Incomparables and one Hey Not Bad at the Times; it's just that they're overshadowed by the former crew).

Where was I?  Oh.  Jill, at Brilliant at Breakfast, puts it in a nutshell and then knocks it out of the park:

I'd like to believe that over the next two years, Democrats will hammer over and over again that this is what Republican governance looks like -- feed the rich and starve everyone and everything else. There is no penny spent on anything that might do people some good here and around the world that won't be fought, and no tens of billions of dollars shoveled into the pockets of people who already have five houses, ten cars, and fifteen Cayman bank accounts, that's too much to spend.

This is Republican doctrine, folks. This is what they ran on. Republican doctrine is about taking care of the people who give Republican legislators the money -- and no one else. Not even the 9/11 responders they're telling to fuck off and die -- quickly.

You see any small government in there? I'm not seeing any small government there at all.
