Hanging with a bad crowd
|
Sometimes it's good to be a person Glen Reynolds
notices; other
times it's not. While he doesn't describe me personally, I am
part of that ilkage what poopooed on the idea of a "terrorist futures
market" ( "Today's
WTF?"). Anyway, Rita
the smart lawyer brought Mr. Reynold's coverage to my attention, and
I acknowledge my public ignorance. Actually, and I swear this is
true, I suspected that anything that sounded this off the wall had to have
a salutary upside, but I was just too lazy to find it. Thank you
Rita, that's why you are a respected blogger.
As fate would have it Brit Hume just lased in on the subject. If there's any doubt that the idea has merit, the Senator from California (the dumb[er] one) dispels it. Sen. Boxer chastized Paul Wolfowitz after he announced it's cancellation. "I don't think we can laugh off that darkl a program. There is something very sick about it, and if it's going to end I think you end the careers of whoever it was that thought that up" - Barbara BoxerThat's company I never want to be a part of. |
Uh, huh? You're not ignorant and neither am I....just apparently better at thinking things through than some people.
I know, it's sacrilege to disagree with the Anointed One, but I think I can live with the shame.

When Democrat Asswipes hate it, support it.
Whatever "it" is.
Exception: If that Democrat is Zell Miller.

Like the man said, if the donks hate it, then I'm for it.
