Time for angry Americans to march on the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON--"Populism" is the most overused and misused word in the lexicon of commentary. But thanks to a reckless decision by Chief Justice John Roberts' Supreme Court and also the greed of the nation's financial barons, we have reached a true populist moment in American politics.

1. I really wish I believed that - "a true populist moment" would be great

I'm afraid what we have really reached is this:

"Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity." from "The Second Coming," by W. B. Yeats

Lord knows "the worst" (the Repukes, the Five Evil Justices, the media, and the right wing generally) really "are full of passionate intensity."

Cancel American Idol. Take away Guitar Hero. That will get us in the streets.
