“The rules in this new 'post-partisan' era are pretty simple: If the Democratic Party wants it, it's 'stimulus.' If the Republican Party opposes it, it's 'politics' - as in headlines like this: 'Obama Urges GOP To Keep Politics To A Minimum On Stimulus.' These are serious times: As the president says, it's the worst economic crisis since the Thirties. So politicians need to put politics behind them and immediately lavish $4.19 billion on his community-organizing pals at the highly inventive 'voter registration' group ACORN for 'neighborhood stabilization activities.”

And somehow [Donald] Trump, who represents the worst aspects of capitalism, has persuaded people he can deal with that.”

The essential message being conveyed to people is, You are worthless. What an incredibly dumb thing that is for management to say!”

Just enough to show that I still had my self-respect.”
