Hell in a handbasket, part 56,278. I was at the gym this afternoon, and as I was just doing a quick warm-up on the elliptical machine, hadn't brought my earphones. Thus I had only the video when I punched on the machine's little tv. A Fox news channel appeared, with some talking head apparently discussing the South Carolina primaries. The caption read:

"Will voters take democracy into their own hands?"

Come now Fox News. OK, some of us do grouse quietly about our "rights" and stuff now and again, but surely we would never get that uppity.
