Sarcasm mostly does, or so I tellmyself daily.<br /><br />I don't see (!) where you get the idea there are two political parties in this country. There's just the one conglomerate with a couple of operating subsidiaries. <br />ckmCharles Kingsley Michaelson, IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364694465614330540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-18953524089215237582009-12-11T20:08:13.652-06:002009-12-11T20:08:13.652-06:00Sorry about the detached retina, I used the one bl...Sorry about the detached retina, I used the one blind eye as a metaphor for not seeing that both political parties are robbing us blind of more than just our money.

When in Fact Deficit Hawks are anti Wall Street Bailout, anti War and anti Government "wasteful" Stimulus. The same reasoning carries through to your Global Warming diatribes, that if one does not believe in imminent human destruction than they are idiot capitalistic deniers incapable of reasoned judgement.

Elapsed time brings them ever-closer to the reality. <br /><br />Perhaps at some point in the dim future we'll have better data collection. My money is on Google as data provider. They're into everything.....<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />- TomOfTheNorthTomOfTheNorthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480131003518342065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-3267836192605180302009-12-10T11:18:09.915-06:002009-12-10T11:18:09.915-06:00Statistical adjustments.

And Rosenberg, as always, is clear & on point. ckm adds further to the refutation, with other Bianco-described 'non-discretionaries' that (surprise!) may actually be kinda, um, discretionary.
