By Their Blog Choices Ye Shall Know Them ...

..and these guys are pretty much my cup of tea. There must be others, but these are the only guys I know who regularly talk seriously about the full range of money problems the next president --any next president, even Ralph Nader or Bob Barr--is going to face. Still, I suspect pigs will fly before they get anything like the kind of realism that (as they so clearly demonstrate) we so clearly need. The Republicans have an eight-year record of demonstrating that all they care about is (a) starting wars and (b) not paying for them. Lucky for McCain he doesn't know anything about economics: he couldn't sleep nights if he did. And a Democratic presidency--particularly one coupled with a six-seven-eight-nine vote edge in the Senate--is enough to scare they daylights out of anybody with a calculator (indeed, Obama could well turn out to be one of those presidents who discover that your worst enemies are your friends).

Still it is not all gloom. My current fave bloggers did put me onto the best Jon Stewart clip ever.*

*Actually, not quite. But good enough, so let the point pass.
