25. You see, faith and patience, is too late.

THEY have destroyed the planet and the 'harvesters', e.g., The Koch Bros, are encouraging and accelerating that end with only Clarence Thomas to stop them. I only take solace in that I'm 60 and not 20. If I were 20, I'd be considering a career of 'suicide bomber'.

Does anybody have any predictions on how this might affect this year's DOTY nominations? 

I'm thinking we'll see some unexpected nominees this year, based solely on their post Nov-6 actions.

Off the wall.   The bouncy epidemic there should be studied by a team of psychiatrists.

I voted Off The Wall.  I tend to picture the person behind the posts, and what I see is anger.  They see their New, New Deal guy slipping away.  The anger is so apparent (just look at ANY Twitchy political post) that my Romney/Ryan yard sign, and bumper sticker are coming down/off on election day.

I thought there'd be a whole slew of primitives new to the Top DUmmies of 2012, and thought they'd start popping up earlier in the year.  I expected (and alas publicly stated) that probably about seven of the top ten would be 0bamaites never before recognized. 

Each passing day it's shaping up my prediction was wrong, and so I quit making them.

Now it looks as if there might still be a surprise or two, but I dunno.

I remember you making that prediction, and trying to figure out what would be the reasoning.  I now believe you to be correct.

From the time I spend over at Skin's, I see a lot of the bigger primitives trying to subtly reassure each other that the election isn't as close as it is.  If Romney wins, we'll probably see those bigger primitives flip their lid in a run-of-the-mill sort of way.

The other kind of primitives I am watching over there are the ones that don't post as often, and (to my knowledge) have never made the DUmpster.  Their posts are very nervous, and seem to be more desperate with each passing day, looking for reassurances that Obumbles will win. 

Some of those no-name primitives are bound to have some sort of magnum blowout on election night if Romney wins.

My biggest problem is that since I spend so much time observing the primitives on their natural terrain, Skins's island, I tend to absorb sme of that madness, and have to back away.

I used to amble around Skins's island for hours at a time; the past few weeks, I've just darted over there, and just as quickly came back from the madness.  I have no intention of losing my sanity.

I went with controllably insane, since as long as the government largesse keeps rolling in they remain docile. 

Please repost this poll after election day, I might want to change my answer.

I never saw that quote, but it's right on target.

It's part of a larger quote, which is one of my Meditations (a Stoic thing):

"He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you."
