Here it is…
A brilliant and important, five month old column by Mark Morford, written just after the disastrous midterms, which closely resembles a post I have written again and again in my own head. But as my Twitter followers know, I’ve only been able to tweet (ok, rant) about it in 140

I quibble over some of his choices at times, but as my readers know, I've been a big fan of the @punkPatriot since I first came across him. If I had the spare change, I'd be putting him up in house somewhere, and pay him to make these videos all day long, so he didn't
