Let's Not Forget The Republicans

I find it somewhat ironic that we are in such a bitter feud amongst ourselves while just across the aisle, the Republican Party is self-destructing before our very eyes.

If that isn't something to celebrate, I don't know what is.

Yes, disasters present opportunities.

But exploitation of some opportunities can be worse than the prime-moving motivating disaster.

Best not to cheer not your opponents demise. On some tomorrow the sand of the Colesium will be wetted with your blood or that of your friends

...and I agree. However, I hope that you would understand that my post was an attempt (albeit, a poor attempt) at shedding some positive light on the current situation.
