...prejudices of the tea partiers, birthers, deathers, Palinites and other assorted "real" Americans are well known; the historic conservative opposition to universal health care isn't news. The dyspepsia of the left blogosphere is less easily explained, though. It has its roots in an issue the left got right and almost everyone else got wrong: the war in Iraq. There is still intense, unabated anger on the left because its opposition to the war was often ridiculed and almost always ignored in 2003. The anger at so-called moderates - actually, Democratic conservatives like Joe Lieberman - who supported...
...dyspepsia of Del Toro's performance is partly due to the bromides he has to enunciate - that the most important quality of a revolutionary is "love," and that he's not a Catholic but "I believe in mankind" - and partly because so little information is vouchsafed about his non-jungle career or his private life. (You're about 100 mins. into Part 1 before Che mentions in passing that he has a wife and child back home.)

...normal times, a French President's call for an overhaul of the world's financial system would cause eye-rolling and dyspepsia among the world's free market purists.

...National Health Service, for example, has enjoyed record budgets under Blair, and by many indicators, Britons' health has improved. But recent layoffs in some regional health authorities have led people to think the whole system is sick - which gets magnified by the government's other missteps and the general dyspepsia people feel toward its leader. According to the Deloitte/Ipsos MORI Delivery Index released last Friday, public expectations of what the government will accomplish as it tries to rejuvenate public services are now at an all-time low. Only 33% think they'll get better; only 22% expect...
