Lets Go To The Video Tape
About 12:01 on the afternoon of January 20, 2009, the white American mind began to unravel.
It had been a pretty good run up to that point. The brains of white folks had been humming along cogently for near on 400 years on this continent, with little sign that any serious trouble was brewing. White people, after all, had managed to invent a spiffy new form of self-government so that all white men (and, eventually, women) could have a say in how white people were taxed and governed. White minds had also nearly universally occupied just about every branch of that government and, for more than two centuries, had kept sole possession of the leadership of its executive branch (whose parsonage, after all, is called the White House).
But when that streak was broken—and, for the first time, a non-white president accepted the oath of office—white America rapidly began to lose its grip.
As with other forms of dementia, the signs weren't obvious at first.

It is interesting to see Cultural Poisoning Detox play out in such a national public way on TV for all the world to see. The new TeaBag House will not actually go to congress until January 2011 and look what is already being reported.
- House plans to revoke HCR, Social Security and Medicare
- New Tea Party House members tell Latino Americans elected to house to go back to Mexico.
- New Tea Party House members say Republicans are "enemies of the people"
At first the title of this piece just seemed funny and a little over done, hmm,
