Quote of the day
"What this country needs is a really good five-cent cigar."
Vice President Thomas R. Marshall
Bailouts. Make-work infrastructure schemes. Free-spending, profligate governors petitioning the government for "loans." Rep. Barney "I Want To Roll The Dice On Subsidized Housing" Frank denying he had anything to do with the mortgage crisis, and then finding himself in a position to greatly influence legislation dealing with the mortgage crisis he helped create.
Americans would indeed profit if five-cent cigars were readily available. They'd profit even more, however, if a wave of common sense washed over the folks currently running the Treasury Department, and the folks who'll soon find themselves in the employ of Saint B. Hussein Obama, aka the "President-elect."
