#3 Uh oh. Sounds like a mutant strain of BDS has returned. And I'll bet they thought they had eliminated it once and for all.
Wait'll Palin gets in and dusts off the Escape From New York idea. Heh heh heh heh...

#4 In a trendy bar in SoHo, a young writer told me that some of his friends in New Hampshire were so revolted by the antics of the Tea Partiers that "they just don't see any alternative to moving to Manhattan, an island of sanity".

What antics? The fact that they had the audacity to question the elite political class? If Manhattan is an island of sanity, give me insanity.

#5 ..were so revolted by the antics of the Tea Partiers that "they just don't see any alternative to moving to Manhattan, an island of sanity".

Back to the fish bowl of unreality. Next stop they can follow their trail of their Royalists predecessors. In today's case, their Euro Socialists brethren back to good old Europe.

#6 Speaking of fish bowels...
I propose an experiment. Take two towns, each with the resources needed for basics, food, water, power, etc. and fill one with socialists and the other with people willing to work in a capitalist society. Make it a reality TV show and watch each town and see how it makes itself work.

My vote is the socialist one will collapse before the end of the TV season because no one outside the "fish bowel" will pay for the benefits.

#7 On a larger scale California and Texas appear to be playing that game.
