"When (President Franklin) Roosevelt did this, he put our country into a Great Depression," Austria said. "He tried to borrow and spend, he tried to use the Keynesian approach, and our country ended up in a Great Depression. That's just history.
The Depression started in '29. Roosevelt took office in '33.

I Am Smarter Than Michael Steele
Michael Steele has a very odd definition of what a job is. Steele is still on his kick about how the government has never created a single job. Tomorrow I start taunting the mailman with shouts of 'Get a job you lazy bum'.

I am smarter than soon to be ex-Gov. Blagojevich
Word of advice to all future Governors, it is never a good idea to try and sell a Senate appointment to the highest bidder especially when you are already being investigated for corruption.
Oh I am also smarter than John Harris who is/was Blagojevich's chief of staff. John, your job is to stop your guy from doing mind numbingly stupid stuff like this.
Caught on tape, Blagojevich used an expletive as he described the Senate seat as something so valuable "you just don't give it away for nothing," adding that he might even appoint himself if he could get nothing for it, the criminal complaint against him said.

STOP THE STUPID!
Smoking is a disgusting habit that can kill you and those around you. Barack
Obama claims to have quit, but the evidence is ambiguous. And the media's lack
of interest in this question supports the charge that Obama is enjoying a
honeymoon with the press.

I am smarter than Deborah Howell
I'm not sure how I missed this because I really like point out people I am smarter than.
Howell makes a case for an Obama bias at the Washington Post by counting the number of articles written and photos taken of each candidate. Since Obama had more, the Washington Post is deemed to have had a bias. I'm pretty tired of people make the case that if you write something positive or negative about candidate A you have to do the same thing for candidate B. There aren't a lot of articles out there in praise of the Detroit Lions. On the other hand, there is a small forest worth of articles devoted to the New England Patriots. This doesn't mean there is a sports journalist bias against the Detriot Lions. It just means that they suck and are boring, which kinda explains McCain's campaign.
Some of Howell's complaints about the Post's coverage of Obama are...
Seriously Debby? The Post's coverage would have been better had it focused on Obama's drug use as a teen, his undergrad years and Rezko? Personally, I think the Post would have better coverage if they didn't have such a stupid Ombudsman who sounds like she just got back from reading Red State.
I really liked this part though.
So apparently to Howell, more press coverage means there is a bias except when the opposite is true.

But Obama deserved tougher scrutiny than he got, especially of his undergraduate years, his start in Chicago and his relationship with Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who was convicted this year of influence-peddling in Chicago. The Post did nothing on Obama's acknowledge drug use as a teenager.

I really liked this part though.
One gaping hole in coverage involved Joe Biden, Obama's running mate. When Gov. Sarah Palin was nominated for vice president, reporters were booking the next flight to Alaska. Some readers thought The Post went over Palin with a fine-tooth comb and neglected Biden. They are right; it was a serious omission.

I am smarter than Jeffrey Shapiro
Our failure to stand by the one person who continued to stand by us has not gone
unnoticed by our enemies. It has shown to the world how disloyal we can be when
our president needed loyalty -- a shameful display of arrogance and weakness
that will haunt this nation long after Mr. Bush has left the White House.

I'm smarter than Andy Reid
2:00 minutes left. 3rd and 1. Down by five. One time-out. You haven't been able to run the ball all night. Your quarterback is Donovan McNabb. Trying to run for the first down is stupid. Trying to run for the first down twice in a row is really stupid.
What a downer of an ending to a damn good game.
I was hoping to make it to open mic tonight and meet up with a lady friend, maybe have a beer or two. Watching Donovan McNabb try and win the game in the last minutes wouldn't have made the trade-off worth it, but would have made it bearable. Watching Brian Westbrook run into a line of fat people.......pffffffffffffffft.
To top everything off I'm getting that achey feeling one gets right before you get sick. I'm headed to bed.
