Recent events in my province align neatly with the government folly memes. The liberals had a leadership choice between an uncharismatic guy who has paid his dues and is realistic about our most pressing issues, and a guy who is a wretched, compromised hack who couldn't effect any reforms even if he knew they were needed. The realist was crushed in the election. I couldn't believe how lopsided it was. I suppose I could have anticipated. Negative selection, as you've pointed out, is quite real. Still, that lopsided?!
The “WTF” meme is the best of the day.
