Idle Musings: Time to Turn It Off

I had lunch today in a diner that keeps several TVs tuned to various news channels. As I was exiting, I heard, “Next up on CNN: What can Barack Obama learn from Ronald Reagan?”

I thought, “Besides serial dissembling and how to maintain power while in the grip of Alzheimer’s, you mean?” But my main thought was, “Gee, I hope Obama ain’t watching.”

    hey mr. goldman you were really bating us in your BP chat the other day. can’t believe i missed it.

    i forget exactly what you said but you compared something or other to the climax of watchmen — you know, the catastrophe engineered by a shadowy elite (guy) in order to compel the creation of a one-world government.

    anyway whatever it was this was provocative stuff. well appointed, as always.

    ps oh yeah, can we get a column on debt monetization?

    The title to this post could also be applied to Farnsworth vs Thome in last night’s Royals game. I feel so bad for the Royals’ fans - and I can’t wait for the Yanks to face them this weekend!

    I love you Steven, but this is a fairly crappy way to describe the former President. I understand that you were not a fan, but mocking an Alzheimer’s sufferer is beneath you.
