To quothe the man: "We are the ones we have been waiting for."

C'mon folks, this is the change we were waiting for.

To Paraphrase:

Liberty is rarely lost all at once. It is lost in increments, often without the victim even noticing, because the theft is wrapped a confection of compassion.

I suppose this could be the end of Advice and Consent. Article II really is just inconvenient, after all. So why not just disband the senate while we are at it?

The vote on Repeal of Glass Steagall: The final bill resolving the differences was passed in the Senate 90–8 (one not voting) and in the House: 362–57 (15 not voting).

B.Clinton Signed it.

While I agree it was not Gramm's Shining moment, there was clearly bipartisan insanity going on, with Clinton and the Democrats happily leading the chorus. Repeal clearly supported the progressive agenda, with the predictable results we see today.

Saying Cain is a Genius is a bit over the top.

Oh, wait.

Didn't Oprah, the tingly press, the Nobel Committee, et. al. fete Obama with the title of Supreme Being. He is "The One" according to Oprah after all.

John,

Saw "From Paris..."on a flight from Tokyo to DC. Generally fun, and with a royale with cheese! Also, miss George Carlin. Be excellent to each other! Do you think he realized how ridiculous that movie made liberal dogma look? Of course not.

Best,

Maybe Perry just misses Brother Love, the once great manager of the Undertaker in Vince McMahon's unforgettable World Wrestling Federation. I know I do.

As for the topic, I love how the only people who seem to notice and discuss Cain's color are the same people who purport to be color blind. Andrea Mitchell, Spike Lee, Lawrence O'donnell, Chris Matthews, Jeff Spicoli (aka Mr. Penn), et. al. obviously cannot see past a person's skin color while they are lecturing the rest of us.

Unsurprising, but still pathetic.

Jeff,

Thanks for the analysis. However, the Josef Goebbels playbook makes me conclude that in fact, the opposite of your analysis is true. According to the TV, Mr. Clinton ended the national debt. That is all the lullaby I need to hear. Right?

Best,

Lazy Jack

I hate to admit it, but I now understand why Elizabeth Warren's prurient comment the other day was nearly correct, with the following amendments.

She said: There is nobody in this country who got rich on his own. Nobody. You built a factory out there — good for you! You moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for. You hired workers the rest of us paid to educate. You were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for.

To be more accurate, she should have said; There is “no friend or relative of Nancy Pelosi or Barack Obama” in this country who got rich on his own. You built that factory with taxpayer money we threw away on you. You spent $700 million to create 45 permanent jobs. Good for you!

In this context she is certainly right. Thanks Elizabeth, for the clarification.

If memory serves, prior to the Patient Protection act, the combined governments within the republic already subsidised nearly half the total healthcare tab annually. Finding ways to ignore the distortionary effects of all that state funding is a full time effort by the U.S. media and her co-propagandists in academia and lobbying. But hey, why not double down on eighty years of bad bets.

Some other interesting nuggets ignored by the media:
