Great article. I guess Russians are smarter than Americans after all.

You’re right O’Fraud–interesting stuff. Thanks. My world has indeed turned inside-out. I’m starting to read and listen to Buchanan, Krauthammer, and Hannity. And now, I guess I have to start reading Pravda to stay informed. What a topsy-turvy world this has become!

KRAUTHAMMER??? Oh yeah, he’s been on the right side of every issue :rolleyes:

“2/1/02:
Iraq is Hitlerian Germany, a truly mad police state with external ambitions and a menacing arsenal.

4/19/02:
Saddam survived, rearmed, defeated the inspections regime and is now back in the business of building weapons of mass destruction.

…Time is running short. Saddam has weapons of mass destruction. He is working on nuclear weapons. And he has every incentive to pass them on to terrorists who will use them against us. We cannot hold the self-defense of the United States hostage to the solving of a century-old regional conflict.

6/13/03:
The inability to find the weapons is indeed troubling, but only because it means that the weapons remain unaccounted for and might be in the wrong hands. The idea that our inability to thus far find the weapons proves that the threat was phony and hyped is simply false.”

Man, sucks to have to reconcile one’s sense of self-respect and sanity with that kind of embarrasing drivel…

Gee Whiz, looks like Charles Krauthammer’s been wrong before. I thought he was infallible. Thanks for enlightening me.

But if you take a deep breath, and look past stupid, it rights itself, again.

Really, one only has to get past DUMB, and one is OK, again.

(Dumb is, of course, those stupid people currently in charge, of either party).

Daily News discovers that Princess Caroline only made it to the voting booth half of the time …. Not a great recommendation.

Huffpo is now saying that the Minneapolis Star is projecting an Al Franken win in the recount by 89 votes.

Did we really think that BO’s election fraud gang would let Franken lose?
Then how about this tidbit:
From Savage Politics
2. The pro-amnesty racist group La Raza has managed to slip one of it’s own into the Obama staff at the White House. Cecilia Muñoz, Senior Vice President of La Raza has been appointed to the intergovernmental affairs position in the Obama White House. This is on top of the recent appointment of pro-amnesty for illegal aliens Bill Richardson as the Commerce Secretary. Anyone who didn’t see all these pro-amnesty people being appointed into the Obama administration simply haven’t been paying attention.

I swore it was turning chinese, but, oh well…

ROTFLMAO

I was at a resaturant, and this guy kept insisting, “I am not stupid, I am a computer programmer, I am not stupid.”

Bad night, all around, I guess.

Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman on the Economy
‘The Return of Depression Economics’

Honeydew, California:(really nice town in the redwoods) Will you please explain how or if we can adapt Depression era lessons to the current crisis?

Paul Krugman: The Depression offers a lot of more or less direct lessons. For example, the Big Mistake of 1937: FDR let himself be persuaded that he should try to balance the budget even though the economy was still depressed; the result was a severe recession in 1938. What the Depression teaches us is that when the economy is so depressed that even a zero interest rate isn’t low enough, you have to put conventional notions of prudence and sound policy aside. Now as then, we’ve got an economy that needs temporary life-support from the feds; not where we want to be, but where we are.
