    Why hardly anyone dies from a drug overdose in Portugal http://wapo.st/1dyFQrO

    Nothing gay about Hastert hypocrisy http://wapo.st/1e5gXok the list of hypocrites from the Clinton era, Ginrich, Livingston, Hyde, Hastert, Vitter … it was national psychosis, maybe the Ds started with Borking. Remember the Rube Goldberg investigation that was Whitewater? Can anyone describe that in one sentence? a failed 1970s land-deal where the special counsel spent $50M and found Linda Tripp. Rule of law. Rule of law The DC establishment, libs included, hated Bubba too. /// Why the Kennedys are Endorsing Obama (jon swift http://bit.ly/RwL2zs)

      Al Gore, internet inventor (ask VennData about this) ran away from Clinton, then we elected Dubya to restore honor and integrity to the WH, plus we’d rather have a beer with this dewd. forget Florida, Gore lost the entire South, Arkansas and Tennessee, Florida would not have mattered if Gore won his home state! well he really lived in DC like the rest of them.

      Al Gore invented Global Warming, Not the Internet.

      Actually, Al Gore invented bad ballot designs and politicized Supreme Courts

      “Dewd” – is that a contraction of “Lewd Dude”, as in Sen. Vitter, Rep. Hastert, or Josh Duggar?

      I’m 150% sure (but no proof lol) Rove planted the fake national guard memo as a way to diffuse that story (right out of his playbook), discredit the liberal media, Rather. What’s your frequency Kenneth?

    The Permanent News About the 2009 Stimulus Bill

    Christie Romer’s original calculations suggested we needed a fiscal stimulus program of $1.8 trillion over three years, even with all of the banking-support and monetary policy moves the Treasury and the Federal Reserve were making. Her forecasts–like almost every forecast in December and January 2009–were optimistic. We needed not $1.8 trillion over three years, but rather more like $4 trillion over 5 years …

    …we wound up with a $600-billion two-and-a-half-year program.

    That program was, roughly, one-third infrastructure, one-third direct aid to states, and one-third tax cuts and cyclical benefit expansions. That seemed a reasonable division of what turned out, in retrospect, to be a much too-small and much too-brief pot of money.

      You are missing the big picture. It became reified as proof that infrastructure spending can’t stimulate the economy.
