This reminds me of a cartoon, often seen in magazines over many decades of the middle and late 20th century. It was always the same gag with different captions, featuring a bearded geezer, sometimes in a robe, carrying a big sign proclaiming "The End is Near!" A humorous notion at the time and not something taken very seriously, a remote possibility at best. But today? After watching a few news cycles how can anyone think that the end, or the beginning of the end, is not near? The Republican Party is off the rails if last night's speakers are any indication.

In these screwball times I've been disappointed that no third party alternative has made an appearance but a screwier solution has come to my attention. A group called The Articles of Unity has a crazy plan that has two co-presidents, not just one guy, running things. Politics makes very strange bedfellows even if it is a little late in the game for these guys to gain any traction.
