Fall of Rome

I know this is overly dramatic and hyperbole-ridden, but given the recent news...
  • Supreme Court removes limits to corporate campaign donations.
  • Health Care reform abandoned after Teddy Kennedy's replaced by a Republican.
  • And let's not forget about how the public largely decided not to believe in Global Warming anymore due to misunderstanding the context of the word "trick".
Am I the only one who feels like he's living in the last days of a great Republic, that's about to be swept away by Barbarians and Tyrants, both foreign and domestic? *Grumble, grumble* Where'd I put that fiddle and matchbook? Oh, it's over there by the cake the peasants should be eating. ...mmm... upside-down-country cake... I'm sorry, I forgot what I was complaining about. The cake was just so tasty.

I'll leave it to Olbermann to do the bitching for me. He's better at it than I am:
