What in the world happened today?
I've been procrastinating on a brief that I really do not want to write, so I have been reading DU off and on, and I feel like I've landed in Bizarroworld.
1) The Pope said atheists can get into heaven, 2) The President delivered an excellent speech in which, heaven forbid, he sounded like a liberal (so much so that I actually believed it), 3) On a 97-0 vote, the Senate confirmed Sri Srinivasan to the D.C. Court of Appeals, and 4) The House self-fellated by voting to approve the KXL Pipeline for the 8th time. The only one of those events that even marginally gives me a sense that I am living in the real world is #4. Otherwise, it's like I've died and gone to heaven. Was there an instantaneous, global revolution that I missed? What gives?
