The United States of Somalia

Nobody---well, almost nobody---like to think that this is our Republic's likely future, but when an armed mob can run off a government agency performing its legally appointed rounds . . . well, with a liberal policy establishment that seems so frightened of scaring the sensibilities of a group of insane people, you really have to wonder if things in this country aren't going to get a helluva lot worse before they start to take a turn for the better. I'd love to be proved wrong here, but looking back over the last decade or so, putting your chips on worst-case scenarios has been, as a rule, the least risky play.
