Overall Review
unsolicitedanalysis:
President Obama used kitchen table populism, but surprisingly less than I expected. To me, the speech was broadly pablum, but the small-business capital gains tax cut was brilliant. Is brilliant.
I continue to wonder who this man is, how he connects his Keynesian ideals to monetarist prompts from his country. They rail against bailouts, complain about the deficit…yet they...

Me: I'm always like "Well, here's my opinion."
Me: And then the internet reacts like the dragon under the stairs in The Munsters.
BMichael: I think that's true.

And The South Will Rise Again
Periqueblend points us to this chilling photo essay in Mother Jones.
I find myself wondering which color I’d choose. The red satin looks a little Catholic Cardinal for my taste. (I almost said “too tacky”. Ha!)
