A post with no links

Because I can't figure out video.

If you haven't had a chance, the past two days of the Daily Show have been very much worth watching, in my estimation.  The night before last, Obama pointed out how friendly Obama has been to Bush-era policies regarding rendition, detention, Gitmo, etc.  Last night, he ran through the litany of former Presidents who urged us to end our dependence on oil.  In both cases, the point was pretty clear.  Obama is somewhere to the right of Richard Nixon–yet we still have to have a debate with Fox News (and I would add the Washington Post Op-ed page, etc.) about whether Obama is a communist, a socialist, or a fascist.  Seriously.  I can't explain this.

    I wept. I downloaded. I now have video proof.
    Even people who are older than I am and who should certainly remember always look puzzled/suspicious when I point out that the "addicted to foreign oil/energy independence" sloganeering has been going on for nearly four decades and very little has actually changed.  
    After a while, it feels like I'm trapped in a "Twilight Zone" episode. Am I the only person still alive who once waited in long lines at gas stations in 1973 and 1979?  Did I merely hallucinate the Reagan Administration, with much snarky fanfare, tearing off the solar panels from the White House?
