Better Than Nothing, But Not Better Than Absolute Nothing

Probably won't live to see my fondest desire (homo sap passing from the planet by its own devices) but I may just see the end of one of the two major American political parties, an exciting morbidity event few expected or anticipated. And, fortunately, it's the slightly more evil of the two parties that may be destined for the dustbin of history.

Rand Paul: Establishment Will “Destroy” GOP If They Block Outsider Nomination  —  “If the establishment tries to block an outsider from winning the nomination, there'll be war within the party and they'll destroy the party.”  —  Steve Pope / Getty Images  —  w.soundcloud.com

Discussion:

Nolan D. McCaskill / Politico:   Rand Paul on brokered convention chatter: 'They'll destroy the party'

CNN:   Republicans discussed possibility of brokered convention

David Jackson / USA Today:   Carson threatens to leave Republican Party amid talk of brokered convention

Fuck every one of them to hell w/ a splintered broomstick, either way.
