Liberal Priorities

Tuesday's toad at the Incredible Shrinking Newspaper™©, Jonah Goldberg, is blathering & whining from his list of "Porkulus" talking points.

Sneaking into the package hundreds of millions for, say, sex education, the National Endowment for the Arts and sod for the National Mall doesn't suggest a lot of confidence that Americans support such liberal priorities.

"Sod the National Mall: How Obama Plans to Ram Socialism Down Your Throat! An Exclusive Five-Part Series at NRO.com." Can hardly wait for that one. A couple of other delights.

Don't tell that to Specter, a living antonym for the word "Churchillian."

Jonah, "Churchillian" doesn't mean what the right has re-defined it to mean. Ask one of your regular "readers" to do a little research for you on that one, Mr. Goldberg, as is your style.

Now, to be honest, I think President Obama's stimulus bill is a monstrosity, a bloated behemoth unleashed on America with staggering dishonesty. The centrist "improvements" are like throwing a new coat of paint on a condemned building. 

Yes, do be honest. Try being honest enough to type that you haven't the slightest idea about, well, anything but Star Wars™ collectible prices, & that you merely recite whatever points were faxed to the NRO cubicle farm by the high-tech, youth-oriented Republican Party. 

If he had the intellectual acumen or the honesty to state that any attempts to continue capitalism were "like throwing a new coat of paint on a condemned building," we might pay a bit more attention to his 800 wds. a wk. But there's no point at this stage of the game.
