"That's what you get" department

I saw an article today titled Internet-savvy voters shake up U.S. presidential election. The gist of it is that Obama is on top of his game and using the internet to his advantage, while McCain and his base are struggling to get with the program.

I thought that was amusing as hell.

For quite some time, Republicans have pandered to 1) big business, and 2) those who are ignorant enough to be more concerned with legislating morality and sanctioning discrimination than with getting serious about solving problems like poverty, homelessness, and lack of universal healthcare. Thus, two of the biggest factions in the Republican base are now rich people and ignorant people. How fitting that they are now struggling to get the latter up to speed, a crisis of their own creation.

For once, the good ol' boys club of rich old white guys find themselves at a disadvantage. Now that's refreshing! Thanks, guys, for a good laugh.
