Is anyone else alarmed by how batshit crazy Michael Steele is sounding these days?

This should be required reading for, well, pretty much everybody who complains about our current fiscal mess. The GOP’s Misplaced Rage. A snippet:

Your tax dollars at work: U.S. Funded Health Search Engine Blocks ‘Abortion’ as a search term. I used to work for a sister organization of the School of Public Health, and a more dedicated, passionate group of people I have never met. I’d bet a few people have resigned over this idiotic decision.
