Now Is The Winter Of Your Discontent

I’d like to thank the Republican voters of Minnesota (as well as Colorado and Missouri) for handing a victory to Santorum, ensuring that this circus of a nomination process will go on for at least another month. Your steadfast refusal to anoint Mittbot-9000 as your party’s standard bearer is both amusing and more than a little touching considering that Mittbot-9000 is still the overwhelming favorite. I’m also loving your renewed focus on gay marriage and contraception. I thought the culture wars had become passé, but here you are all suited up for battle like it’s 2004. Adorable! In a world full of uncertainty, it’s comforting to know that conservative outrage is still predictable.
