Week of January 25, 2009 - January 31, 2009

Shorter RNC


Stimulus Seppuku


Watching the Republican house caucus is a thing to behold.  All of the republicans will vote against it.  Here's the beauty of it: those democrats in more benighted conservative districts can run against incumbents on the basis that they opposed tax cuts for business and the middle class.  And it is my hope (though 2 years is a long time) that the voters in those districts will remember the eight years of blinkered, philistine ignorance that created this mess in the first place.  In short, the Republican strategy is still stupid, even if the stimulus fails.  And if Obama is successful, they will be down to a pure redneck caucus.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
