Thoughts on the Koch money that blew up Cantor…
It's all so interesting--in the way Robespierre found the French Revolution interesting--
Establishment Republicans like Dick Armey created the Tea Party, which has subsequently become the adoptee of crazies like the Koch Brothers, and now the 'Baggers are starting to unseat the Establishmentarians Chamber of Commerce types. Will Wall Street be able to control the new wave of monsters like they did the Cantor-class? Or will the new influx of deranged 'Baggers overwhelm the system? Will we suddenly be surprised to see one segment of the Big-Money class in total political war with the other? Is this Kirkpatrick Sale's ancient prophecy about the Cowboys ('Baggers) versus Yankees (C of C & MIC) coming to fulfillment?
(See Kirkpatrick Sale, Power Shift from the early '70's for the Cowboy-Yankee division among the Power Elite.)

Yes, it IS interesting, without a doubt.
Now I'm going to have to go look up Kirpatrick Sale...
The admiration society is mutual. 
You really need to get down this way sometime.
