George Will’s piece, today, is excellent.
He provides a nice list of some, just some, of the crap your one-party state has wrought in just a few months.
And So Begins Another Week Of Malfeasance
With the braying of 328 yahoos — members of the House of Representatives who voted for retroactive and punitive use of the tax code to confiscate legal earnings of a small unpopular group — still reverberating, the Obama administration Monday invited private-sector investors to become business partners with the capricious and increasingly anti-constitutional government.
Just… just go read it willya? It ain’t that all-fired long.
(What? Oh, yeah.)
Victor Davis Hanson ain’t too shabby, neither.
I like that there dramatic an’ historical stuff, too.
In the last three months, we’ve been reduced to something like the ancient Athenian mob—with opportunistic politicians sometimes inciting, sometimes catering to an already angry public.
The Greek comic playwright Aristophanes once described how screaming politicians—posing as men of the people—would sway Athenian citizens by offering them all sort of perks and goodies that the government had no idea of how to pay for.
Anything else? Mmmmm [insert sound of papers rustling] Oh, yeah. Here’s another good’n.
Kind’a pisses me off, though… again… still.
The Dailly Mail weighs in with something that’ll curl your toes, too.
‘I’m having a very good crisis,’ says Soros as hedge fund managers make billions off recession
George Soros said the current economic crisis has been the culmination of his life’s work
A hedge fund manager who predicted the global credit crunch has said the financial crisis has been ‘stimulating’ and the culmination of his life’s work.
George Soros, who predicted the global financial crisis twice before, was one of the few people to anticipate and prepare for the current economic collapse.
Mr Soros said his prediction meant he was better able to brace his Quantum investment fund against the gloabal storm.
But other investors failed to take notice of his prediction and his decision to come out of retirement in 2007 to manage the fund made him $US2.9 billion.
You know… right as the election was hotting up.
