I read the piece Josh posted from John Hinderacker. Hinderacker makes what is without a doubt one of the most ridiculous assertions of all time. Easily in the top ten.

Hinderacker isn't even on the same planet as the rest of us. It just isn't possible to make this assertion except as a joke or as satire. The comments are SNL material for sure.

The way this mimics a view that is so apart from reality is the precise reason conservatives get so much wrong and so little right. Insights such as Hinderackers pretty much explain why things are such a mess.

I had called for Paulson to be fired in the wake of the financial meltdown and this is why. His department slipped in a provision to the financial bailout that gave banks an unprecedented $140B tax break. Now that this has become public maybe congress will call for his resignation. He and Bernanke should have both been fired.
