By the way, did I really read right that Obama defended his compilation of a Cabinet full of Clintonian deadbeats and war criminals on the ground that he was anxious to avoid "group think"? The only thing likely to boom in the US in the next four years will be satire. What an idiot explanation.
On a more cheerful note, enjoy the quote in bold below.
Dick Starnes, from a recent email, on the rich promise of “change you can believe in”:
Quote:I am heartened by the track being taken by our president-elect. The war cabinet is in place, the ugly specter of peace has been banished for the foreseeable future, and the new Congress clearly will be no better able to deal with the nation's ills than was the old, thus fulfilling the sooth I have been saying these many months.
It will truly be interesting to see how this great nation responds to what promises to be an economic disaster that will surely equal the Great Depression in scope and longevity. I see no possibility of escaping ruinous inflation, real hardship (a thing the American people are not accustomed to) and, ultimately, political unrest of an order of magnitude not see in these latitudes since the Civil War. After the technocrats and academic fakers have had their way, and failed, the demagogues will crawl out of the woodwork and, to be sure, find a ready audience in this land of knuckle-draggers, Jesus freaks and various other stubby-fingered vulgarians. I am gratified that you agree with me as to these matters.
