Comic relief but I got nothin' either

[Monte Davis]

Actually, when I rambled in the Krugman thread I had the latest GOP
candidates' debate in mind. I heard something more than the rote
"leadership" and "strength" and "boots on the ground will work better this
time" that Milbank observes... more than the bipartisan "indispensable
nation, something must be done and this is something so we must do it."

I heard a just-barely-subterranean thread of welcoming more Parises and
Benghazis -- or at least "see, we were right"... of wanting Daesh, Iran et
al to be as bad as they can be, of *wanting* Manichaean, apocalyptic
confrontations. Maybe some of it is an attenuated version of the
bring-on-Armageddon stance of some End Timers among their base.
