When health care reform fails, or 'wins' with a crappy bill, we'll know who is to blame.

I Am Vaguely Calling You Out

This is a message for all you Chicken Littles, you handwringers, you wannabe strategists, you people who have suggestions of doubts: I am vaguely calling you out.

Who you are is not really important. Why I am vaguely calling you out is also not important. In fact, it is better that both "you," and what you are doing, are never really defined. This has three advantages:

***1. First, it's easy. As long as both you and your actions stay open-ended and amorphous, you can potentially be as many people I don't like as possible without actually being anyone at all. This way, I win a huge argument with a lot of people, without actually engaging in an argument with anyone at all.

***2. Second, it allows as many people as possible to identify with me calling you out. Everyone is angry as something someone wrote on the Internets, so the emotional need to call someone out on the Internets is widespread. When someone reads and recommends this diary, they can also join in the please of vaguely calling someone out for doing something. Now, I have a following.

***3. Third, it prevents me from ever having to justify my calling you out. If I was specific in who I was calling out, it is possible that their written record would contradict my vague reasons for doing so. That would suck, so I am not taking any chances. This way, I can never lose.

.................................

If we do lose anything, you will be entirely to blame. However, we won't lose anything, because progressives have won every single fight from the Iowa caucuses forward. Despite the dangerous, destructive, backstabbing stuff that you did. And you did it every single time.

You and your kind are everywhere. Fortunately, by vaguely calling you out, I have now stopped you from doing it again. So, I am pretty awesome. If others join me, they will have participated in that glorious triumph themselves. And if they follow me, neither I, nor they, can ever lose.

Can't he still be blamed for everything?
