"I’m not necessarily a conspiracy person, but I don’t think enough investigation has been done on this. Someone needs to be digging into that situation. Personally, and this is purely speculative on my part and not based on any fact, but personally I feel there is a possibility that there was some sort of collusion."You know, just as surely as you can predict oh, say the sun rising in the East, you just knew there was going to be some dingbat Republican who would come out with a story like this: Barrack Obama and BP colluded to allow the oil leak to happen in the Gulf of Mexico. The purveyor of this imbecilic view is one Bill Randall, candidate in the Republican primary for a congressional seat in North Carolina. Of course, he doesn't know just why the Obama administration would want to do this, but it might be to further the passage of green and environmental legislation in Congress. And this would not be too far from the cracked brain views of such luminaries as Sarah Palin, who thinks that radical environmentalists are behind the spill. See, if radical environmentalists protest oil drilling everywhere else, then deep water drilling becomes necessary. See? Their fault.
My guess is that Republicans running for office all over the country now are going to kissing the butts of the Tea Party nuts now that a Libertarian has won the nomination for the Republican party Senate race, and a Tea Party nut case has won it in Nevada. Nothing is too crazy for these people to believe. The story is here. Mr Randall backtracked quickly, claiming he didn't say what he plainly said, which is standard practice now for politicians of all stripes.

We have been madly insane for years and years. The only difference now is that the masks are slipping as the heat gets turned up.
You may hide your insanity while things are going along on a more or less even keel, but once the ride gets choppy, it's every man and women for themselves.
This is just what I fear. I'm not going to watch anything more on TV about the radical right. Chris Matthews had a (rather pedestrian) special about them this past week. Scares the bejesus out of me to listen to these people. I'm still baffled as to where this rage comes from. I have not a single theory that doesn't make us look like really mean-spirited fools. (With lots and lots of guns, by the way.)
Anarchy is what happens when the ruling elite abdicate their responsibilities to the social good.
This is what we are watching: the various ways in which the privileged have come to believe their own PR has rendered them inept, and opened the way for the small groups of madly determined radicals of all stripes.
Operas have been written about it: the folly of the aristocrats.
I fear you are correct, sir. But you know what happens in a flood: everybody drowns.
