Fire and Brimstone! The End is Nigh!! The only Ward for the Evil Eye, cries the Old Liberal Shaman, is More Federal Spending. More Spending and CFL’s!! Ahhhhh....

"LIAR!"

"Get Back Witch!"

"I'm not a witch, I'm your wife!"

Question: How many Old Liberals does it take to end the world?

Answer: None, it's all George Bush's fault! You Nazi!!

So, according to the Revelation of St. Robert, it'll take a Miracle Pill (chocolate-coated to help it go down easier) and our newly anointed - sorry, “elected” - Messiah to save the economy. Forget about that whole "economic cycle" stuff, that’s over. Forget about competition driving innovation, new companies and opportunities rising to fill the void left by old, inefficient, and incompetent institutions. Forget a few hundred years of observable economic ebb and flow. Who needs theory and observation when we have superstition and fear?

We're doomed until the PILF steps in. DOOOMED!!

Well, so what? I thought we were already doomed by nuclear power plant melt-downs…uh, uh, acid rain…uh, AIDS…no, uh, Global Warming...uh, Climate Change...uh, the 6-Headed Beast...Oh, hell, whatever libtard superstition-du-jour we have now.

"If Iran is open to U.N. inspections, it's probably not constructing nuclear weapons"

Gosh, Juan. I guess you're right. This reminds me of that other bit of "media exaggeration", where the Red Cross inspected Auschwitz and “even praised the Nazis for their diligence in delivering the Red Cross packages despite the hardships of the war”. I hear those Nazis were mighty nice to the Juden.

They provided 3-squares a day, a cinema, and even a brothel (that's actually true - the good prisoners got "serviced"...we won't go into details about by whom...)

How do we know all this? Why the Red Cross themselves WERE ALLOWED TO INSPECT. Gosh, if the Red Cross we checking things out, how could it be anything but Kosher?

Get the idea? If a generally pretty stand-up organization like the Red Cross can screw the pooch on something as subtle as friggin' Auschwitz, might the politically corrupt, horribly infiltrated, questionably funded UN be a little suspect in it’s assessment.

Or maybe this is just racism against Obama, again.

BTW, all the Holocaust deniers LOOOVE that the Red Cross is on record having inspecting Auschwitz. Wonder why? - http://www.davidduke.com/general/why-free-speech-on-the-holocaust_1793.html

For a more appropriate view, try this:

“The Red Cross inspection of the camp lasted for six hours but the cultural events went on for a week. During the week of the inspection, there were numerous performances of the children's opera called Brundibar in the new cultural hall in the Sokol building.

A jazz band, called the Ghetto Swingers, played in the music pavilion in the square. This was a real concession by the Nazis since they had banned jazz or swing music in Germany. Hitler regarded swing as "degenerate" music because two of the leading musicians, Benny Goodman and Artie Shaw, were Jewish.

The Nazi concentration camps typically had an orchestra which played classical music as the prisoners marched to work or to the gas chambers. The Germans loved classical music and Germany was world famous for the cultural contributions of Beethoven, Bach and Brahms. One could say that the Nazis literally put down their violins in order to kill the Jews.”

And those ACORN folks weren't trying to help out the people with child hookers?

I assume that's why the piece on Beck - to invalidate everything that's ever been on his show?

Sorry, not gay (NOT that there's anything wrong with that...), but if you'd like to be a jerk in person instead of just over the blog, let me know a convenient location for you - I'm often over on your side of the Bay. This weekend's bad, but next week I'm flexible. Thursday morning? I have a meeting at 1. And I appreciate the offer to physically dominate me in the gym, but I'll pass. I'm sure you're much more the macho man than I.

Once again though, no one's actaully addressed a point of mine, answered a question, or touched a real issue. You all are excellent name-callers. I expect great things from you!
