The Reverse Chicken Little Scenario

     Behold, the Democratic political landscape of 2016. This is the image put in my mind after nearly two straight weeks of the leaked emails from John Podesta's account. We're easily up to tens of thousands of hacked and leaked communiques, many of them giving us in stark, merciless detail an ever-growing pile of vile refuse.
     It's like watching a big city sanitation strike and seeing the piles grow higher and higher. Yet, despite the stink, despite the ready evidence of an obvious problem, life still, stubbornly, goes on. We just as stubbornly refuse to look at the growing horror of our landscape, sort of like whistling by the graveyard. Or, more accurately, it's like a reverse Chicken Little scenario:

     Once Twitter went back up, I continued commenting on the #podestaemails14 hashtag and here are the best results:

“Use this to scare our people into giving bigger sums.” So, Hillary's peeps had to be extorted & coerced into giving money? #PodestaEmails14 pic.twitter.com/8YEP70Ozhv

In one generation, we've gone from "Show me the money!" to "Take the money!" https://t.co/lOMNGOcFtm #PodestaEmails14 pic.twitter.com/TrceN72NWI

From Clinton campaign's "Nothing to see here, folks" files- Sure, margins of error in double digits is PERFECTLY natural. #podestaemails14 pic.twitter.com/SMP8U5OS6V
