How big is the Republican closet, anyhow?

When do the revelations stop? (Personally, I'd like for all the Republicans to come out of the closet--even if it turns out to be half the leadership. Healthier, saner, more honest--what's not to like? But it says here that The Base has issues with teh gay.)

Still, I hadn't had Jebbie on the list of possibles, until, well, read for yourself:

Protesters greeted Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on his way to a campaign event for [Rick Santorum R-Man on Dog], and he briefly took refuge in a subway station supply closet to avoid the anti-Republican demonstrators.

Think I'm reading too much into the story?

The protesters, made up of members of the United Steelworkers union and the anti-war group Uprise Counter Recruitment, chanted, "Jeb go home," and said Bush blew them a kiss.

Seems to me that blowing a steelworker a kiss in Pittsburgh is either extremely self-destructive, or... Something else.

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
