Remember the Simpsons episode The Itchy & Scratchy & Poochie Show? One of the scenes does a good job of reflecting the thought processes of the current Democratic Party.

Bart, Lisa, Ralph, Milhouse, and other kids from the Simpsons were at a mall and invited to join a focus group to discuss a new cartoon:

Man: How many of you kids would like Itchy & Scratchy to deal with real-life problems, like the ones you face every day?

Kids: [clamoring] Oh, yeah! I would! Great idea! Yeah, that's it!

Man: And who would like to see them do just the opposite -- getting into far-out situations involving robots and magic powers?

Kids: [clamoring] Me! Yeah! Oh, cool! Yeah, that's what I want!

Man: So, you want a realistic, down-to-earth show... that's completely off-the-wall and swarming with magic robots?

Kids: [all agreeing, quieter this time] That's right. Oh yeah, good.

Milhouse: And also, you should win things by watching.
