MC,

My guess is that sometime in the not so distant future some comedic genius is going to turn these presidential primaries and the eventual election into THE great all time comedic farce.  In the distant future (if humanity is still around), that comedy will be considered a masterpiece that should be read and/or seen by all.  University courses will be taught; books, papers, critiques, and graduate thesis's will be written over and over about it in all disciplines.

This is an amazing time if one has the ability to disengage enough to observe the hypocrisy and stupidity.  It seems to have reached hysteria already.  Can it get any worse or for that comedic genius any better?  My guess is yes.  Every day I wake-up to listen to this future comedy play-out on NPR, read about it on-line, and sit stunned staring at what I read in the RG.  I wonder if the word progress and any of its forms should be omitted from every human language?  It may be that "human progress" will be the joke.
