May I recommend some perfect reading if you're waiting anywhere
Edited on Mon Oct-31-05 05:35 PM by Gloria
for awhile??

Grabbed "The Great Unraveling" by Paul Krugman off the shelf...was sitting there for a couple of years....as I ran out the door to go for some work on my car. While waiting, I started from page 1 .....by page 7 I was shaking my head...after all the time that's passed, it rings truer now than ever.

Everyone should read the Introduction to this book, and that includes our Democratic "reps"....I wonder how many actually have ever read it??

In that short 20 pages, Krugman explains what we have been saying for so long....that these people have no interest in our system, they are revolutionary, and THEY WILL STOP AT NOTHING. He knows the moderates and Dems appeased Bush and that this bunch of lunatics get away with it because no one can quite believe people would act the way this bunch acts.

But they do. Read Krugman. He nails it and it bears rereading. Simple, clear, chilling....
