The Law of Infernal Dynamics

Over at Pacific Views, Natasha brings us some wisdom in the form of Gerrold's Law of Infernal Dynamics.

1. An object in motion will always be headed in the wrong direction.

2. An object at rest will always be in the wrong place.

3. The energy required to change either one of these states will always be more than you wish to expend, but never so much as to make the task totally impossible.

Most of us will recognize the current Republican Party as number 1. Some will see the Democratic Party as number 1 and others will see it as number 2. We moderates certainly fall into the number 3 category and as much as we don't want to expend the energy expend it we must.
