That’s One Way to Unite the Left
Paul Krugman thinks a spending freeze is a terrible idea. [NYT]
- So does Nate Silver. [FiveThirtyEight]
- So does Steve Benen. [WashMonthly]
- So does Barack Obama. Well, in 2008, anyway. [ThinkProgress]
still unclear on how you have a big “jobs program” in the middle of a spending freeze
@Capt Howdy: Bring back the draft, baby!
@SanFranLefty:
that would probably end some of the wars we are involved in
@Capt Howdy: It would. And that’s why I’m in favor of bringing it back with no exceptions for being in college or for ass-zits. Shouldn’t just be the poors and the brown and black kids dying.
@SanFranLefty:
yep
been sayin that for years.
Looks like the ACORN pimp has gotten into a spot of trouble:

I am *shocked* to find out he might be a partisan bagman… :)
@al2o3cr:
I guess he’ll keep his pimp hand strong in jail.
@al2o3cr:
quite the fashion plate isnt he
@al2o3cr: I pretty much ignored the ACORN business to begin with, but since Pimp O’Keefe was a darling of the Right — nominated for “CPAC’s prestigious Reagan Award” — I’m waiting to see how the wingnuts deal with it.
Strangely enough, silence so far, beyond a couple of nominal mentions. Imagine that!
@al2o3cr: His day job is procuring diapers for Sen. Shitter.
Commenter on politicalwire’s SOTU preview said that we’re in the “school uniforms” phase of this presidency. Coming up next: “character education.”
@nojo:
Exactly. And I’m sure he came up with the idea of bugging Sen. Landrieu’s phones without *any* outside help.
@redmanlaw: Check the White House visitor logs for Dick Morris.
