For reasons that only the most talented psychologists could fully explain, the cultural conservatives whose grip on reality is most tenuous are convinced, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that Barack Obama and the rest of those terrible Democrats are going to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine and thereby silence right-wing talk radio.
It’s a silly theory, as we see HERE.

The Economist, a British journal, offers a GRIM ASSESSMENT of the Republican Party’s future in light of its turn toward anti-intellectualism.
Here’s just a taste of this provocative essay:
There are any number of reasons for the Republican Party’s defeat on November 4th. But high on the list is the fact that the party lost the battle for brains. Barack Obama won college graduates by two points, a group that George Bush won by six points four years ago. He won voters with postgraduate degrees by 18 points. And he won voters with a household income of more than $200,000—many of whom will get thumped by his tax increases—by six points. John McCain did best among uneducated voters in Appalachia and the South.
UPDATE: Meanwhile, public favor for the Republican Party continues to DECLINE.
