Gonna buy Frylock some airline tickets to Venezuela, or maybe Argentina -- let him see up close that the populist-driven statism we're getting here is really not something new under the sun.

In fact, I read somewhere that there is nothing new under the sun.

Frylock failed to mention what else he saw on the news: Kucinich. Yes, the Dennis! is back on camera, and this time he has every right to be angry. There he was in the primaries, making clear just the kind of marxist craziness he vowed to deliver -- which is just about exactly the marxist craziness we're getting now.

Cleveland just doesn't get any respect. "I explicitly promised a disastrous program of weak defense, unsustainable entitlements, and crony corporatism," the deranged elf seems to be protesting. "And still you chose the other guy, who does all the same things without calling them what they are. I'm the original, you ingrates!"

See that, America? You could-a had the real thing.

We've got beautiful weather for today's St. Pat's Day. Last night we played musical children: with Mojo sleeping at a friend's house and Cookie having one of his pals stay here. We stayed up late to watch the new Narnia movie. They still woke up ahead of me.
