CalPundit has been too depressed to post lately

DEPRESSED....After reading the paper this morning I'm so depressed that I just want to crawl into a hole and go to sleep forever. I'm afraid that there are days when I just can't stand to watch any longer as the Republican party continues its ceaseless, step-by-step quest to destroy a great country and a decent society, and today is one of those days.

... What is it that drives otherwise sane people to believe that these are the things that will make America great in the 21st century?
