" We awake this morning to discover that 2014 may yet well turn out to be the &amp;quot;Most Awesome-est Midterm Election There Absolutely Ever Was.&amp;quot; And, no, Beltway kidz, not because the Democrats are in disarray -- a regular holiday production as predictable a media production as Andy Williams used to out on -- but because, out in the great wide world, the Republicans are letting their freak flag fly. Let us begin in Texas where, yesterday, Senator John Cornyn discovered that he would be challenged in a primary by Rep. Steve Stockman, a bull-goose loony. The New York Times, which is fundamentally opposed to pointing out that any politician belongs in four-point restraints, points out that &amp;quot;Mr. Stockman...has a penchant for making provocative statements.&amp;quot; Actually, Mr. Stockman is the congressional equivalent of the crazy guy on the D train. Watching him light up Cornyn, and watching Cornyn have to explain why the president should not be impeached for being re-elected twice while still being black, is going to be more fun than the average goat-roping. Something similar is happening in where-the-fk-else? Kansas, where Pat Roberts is being challenged by former sportscaster Warner Wolf...no, wait, it&amp;#039;s somebody called Dr. Milton Wolf, who seems to have more backing from the monetized lunatic fringe than does Stockman. (Sit, John, sit. Good dog!) Wolf is an interesting character; he&amp;#039;s a physician who&amp;#039;s made his Tea Party bones by fighting the tyranny of the Affordable Care Act. He&amp;#039;s also a distant relative of the president -- their mothers were cousins, apparently -- and this has given people an easy hook on which to hang his political bona fides.  It also helps him get bylines in places like USA TODAY. This interesting biographical quirk aside, he&amp;#039;s pretty much full wingnut, dedicated to the Constitution Jesus wrote back in Philadelphia. Milton is a doctor, not a politician. He has never run for political office. He rejects the idea of career politicians and shares our Founding Fathers&amp;#039; vision of a citizen legislature where Americans bring their experiences, serve for a short time and then return home to live under the laws they helped to create. Milton believes America must re-embrace the Constitution and the divinely-inspired American Idea of individual liberty, limited government and free-market values. And snowflake Jesus babies and no homo nups because freedom. Put down your Obamaphones and get a job, slackers! Have fun, Pat. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
