"You Want Fries With Your Economy?"


Good grief--President Dipshit, looking more and more like the pathetic used-war salesman he is, shows up "unannounced" (yeah, right) at--I shit you not--a "Yak-a-Doo's" Holiday Inn restaurant in Fredericksburg, Virginia, to insist that, facts nothwithstanding, the economy is "safe and sound."

Aside from resembling the equally cheesy circumstances of his being "saved" religiously, his appearance at a Rotary Club gathering really demonstrates how low they've sunk, reduced to pitching their ideas before a group that, if nothing else, will maintain a sense of decorum if only to be polite.

Meanwhile, in the real world, people are beginning to realize that eight years of prosecuting war the way a sailor pursues alcohol and whores on shore leave does come at a price. And, to cite Hullabaloo again, yes, when the new president takes office, presuming she or he is a Democrat, the noise machine will commence to roar while its media chorus will, quite suddenly, rediscover at least a smidgen of capacity for critical, adversarial "thought."

I guess the only real question is whether it will be too late, or waaay to late. I think we'll know the answer as it registers in our wallets...
