Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

I might just take the rest of the day off and do even more nothing than usual.

Dear media: perhaps we ought to let Donald Trump speak for himself!

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

No one could have predicted…

The desire to stay informed is directly at odds with the need to not be constantly enraged.

They are lying in pursuit of an agenda.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

Peak wingnut was a lie.

Hell hath no fury like a farmer bankrupted.

Dear Washington Post, you are the darkness now.

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

Incompetence, fear, or corruption? why not all three?

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

Balloon Juice, where there is always someone who will say you’re doing it wrong.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

This isn’t Democrats spending madly. This is government catching up.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

When I was faster i was always behind.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

You passed on an opportunity to be offended? What are you even doing here?

Whatever happens next week, the fight doesn’t end.

The unpunished coup was a training exercise.

    Here’s the whitehouse claim

    and here’s Krugman’s column
    http://www.charlotte.com/mld/observer/news/5702813.htm

    It reads to me that Krugman was taking exception to the administrations claim that the 10 year tax cut would create 1.4 million jobs by the end of 2004.

    He states, correctly I think, that a tax cut 8 years from now doesn’t do anything to create a job now, and that even if we took the claim at face value, that would work out to $500,000 per job created by the end of 2004.

    He sounds suspicious of a ten year plan for fixing the next two years worth of problems.

    Luskin thinks that we should divide the cost of the jobs created in the next two years over the entire ten years.

    I have no idea who is right, but I am suspicious that the Republicans have abandoned their fiscal principles (anyone remember the Balanced Budget Ammentment? Graham-Rudman?) so quietly and completely.

    Makes me nostalgic for the days when we screwed up the budget one year at a time.

    Barney, evidently you don’t understand the dishonest way that Krugman compared apples and oranges in this. Given that he waves around his economics degree, the dishonesty by Krugman is obviously intentional.
