Earlier today there was a solid diary by MinistryOfTruth where he noted that the quickest way to get Obama impeached was to stay home this November and let the Repubs take over. "Excellent point," I thought to myself, "now let's check out the comments." And right off the tip jar, the war broke out -- over ponies.
Frankly, I was stunned. In the old days (specifically, the dark days of BushCo), ponies were a GOOD thing. In fact, one diarist was well-known for giving out ponies when someone did something note-worthy. But here we were, throwing ponies and each other under the bus and generally getting into the same fight we've been having for months.
I have stayed out of it, hoping it would calm down with the election coming up. It's not going away, though -- in fact, it seems to be getting worse.
So, I've decided to throw something into the mix. Not because I think I'm especially insightful -- although I can be -- but because I've come across an article, and a concept, that might help. An article about the software industry that actually applies directly to what's going on here.
