Clearly, we have been transported into a parallel universe where anything is possible by wishing it so. This is a wonderous place ruled by everyone and no one simultaneously. The laws – natural or human natural – don’t matter because sometimes they are inconvenient to our view of this universe, so we wish them away, and miraculously they vanish and we are all happy, and start wishing for more. In this universe affirmative action is only applied to sports people, rather than pilots and brain surgeons. And everyone earns the same amount of money, and husbands and wives are faithful to each other, and gravity is what you will it to be so that your weight is a good number.

Oh, and in this world government can create jobs and everyone is fully incentivized to work 24/7 even though the tax rate is 99% on the first dollar and 101% on every dollar thereafter.

It is clearly a magical universe! Alas, we are not in that universe, but, rather, in the universe of full gravity and humans who are neither born equal nor equally productive. And in this universe government must minimize taxes so that jobs can be created by the creative ones.

Alas – it is a cruel universe!!

The president is still listening to dead economists. “http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091208/ap_on_bi_ge/us_obama_jobs” We have to spend our way out of this downturn, though he hasn’t named a number for the new “federal jobs stimulus” the economy is sure to take another massive hit.

OK, 20 million are unemployed or unemployed but not a single American will do XXX type of work even for a zillion chillion gazillion dollars (the free market never works!) so we need skilled workers from Obscuristan.
Perhaps some “trained professionals” like Major Nidal Malik Hasan.

What Americans need are “meaningful” stimulated jobs such as trained Unionized school teachers, health care auditors, transportation security administration boob fondlers, and General Motors assembly line workers.

And in today’s news – there were 5 attacks in Baghdad blowing up over 100 people. This “proves” that WE NEED TROOPS THERE. If there were no attacks in Baghdad, this would “prove” that THE SURGE IS WORKING. The theory is never wrong regardless of the facts.

If the temperature rises, this is GLOBAL WARMING. If the temperature drops, we are facing the NEW ICE AGE. If the temperature remains the same, this is UNPREDICTABLE CLIMATE. No matter what, we need more government control. The theory is never wrong regardless of the facts.

What we need are more immigrants, more surges, more stimulus packages, more credit, more jobs, more health care, more government, MORE HOPE N. CHANGE. Have faith in government – we know what is best.

Who’s kidding who? We all know why nothing has been done about illegal immigration and why nothing is going to be done. The illegals represent a massive voting block just waiting to fall in with the political party that toadies to them first with the most. Watch for SEIU or some other smart, aggresive union to start getting them lined up. The illegals are perfect. Rat hole native countries who are glad to be rid of so many mouths to feed, usually no education, and a hungry work ethic that brings tears to the eyes of American industrialists who have long grown accustomed to indifferent and mediocre American unionized workers. It’s a real hard-to-handle mess. I’m reminded of the fellow trying to urinate into a strong wind. The wind is blowing northward from the Rio Grande.

The ennui may just be the passive means to the liberals’ end – expand the egalitarian franchise. From George Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” to the liberals’ “Nobody Left Behind” is not much of a philosophical leap. And how can insisting a few million “American dreamers”, whether illegals, felons, and even idiots, have a vested interest in the nation fail to ennoble the impulse. I mean… what’s there to question… or… why take the chance?
