Neither "Denial" nor "Completely Friggin Blind" is a river in Egypt

Some people don't get it.

Sadly, No! has a good analogy to explain why we ought not let faux "bipartisanship" get in the way of turning the country around:

"Let’s say you’ve been on a road trip for – oh, I dunno – about six years. Nearly everyone in the car agrees that you’re headed in the wrong direction, and have been for a long time. Your driver ran a whole bunch of red lights to take you into a damn war zone to look for something that wasn’t even there, and now he won’t admit that he doesn’t know where he’s going. He couldn’t be bothered to stop and help those hurricane victims you passed a while back, and he’s run up incredible debts at no-bid check-cashing places to buy stuff for his friends. He refuses to let you see any of the receipts, and is particularly secretive about what he’s doing when he stops at the gas station. Everybody’s starting to go broke, you’ve driven past a torture parlor and you just saw a sign that says “Fascism: Next right.”

So what do you do when you finally get a chance to sit up front with the driver, where he has to listen to you? Tell him to take a left and hope for the best? Hell, nah. As soon as you stop paying attention and fiddle with the radio or something, you know damn well he’s gonna take another right – and then you’re going the wrong way again."

UPDATE: More nuts going nuts. Somebody get me an epi-pen!
