Sheikh and You Shall Find:

Here's a quote from the comments section:

"We are in a very interesting period. Many establishment figures, from both the
Republican and Democratic sides of the aisle, privately understand that the
system is in crisis. But having risen so far in the system, they cannot bring
themselves to face the the implications of that realization.

Some are afraid to openly come out; still others are waiting for the moment to
take the risk. Probably they’ll make their move when the danger of doing nothing
outweighs the risk of taking a chance.

But the mortuary makeup that the press applied on the economic crisis and the
foreign policy catastrophe in the runup to the president’s reelection is wearing
thin. The ghastly pallor is now apparent. But at the same time the inner circle has
become convinced of its invincibility and is acting arrogantly, recklessly and above
all, stupidly.

It’s like standing next to a boiler and watching the rivets work loose as the
pressure increases. The game is now about what to do when she blows. This kind
of renewal has traditionally happened in America every 70 or so years — 3
generations — and the time is about right for yet another sea change."

If American politics is due for a once-in-70-years sea change, I wonder how it
will all pan out?
