When is Tom Friedman going to start saying something again...? It's all "green" all the time with him lately... Friedman's columns are developing a mossy green feel that's starting to resemble moldiness... It's time for Friedman to either move on or move out...and give his soap box to someone with something to say...
Krugman today in the Times...hits the ball into the center field bleachers...yet again.
Of course the problem is that very few people who have been given "big soapboxes" are allowed to tell the truth...
Everything these days is agenda driven...and the elites are setting the agenda...because they're the ones paying the pundits...none of whom wants to be an ex-pundit...working for some think tank...
AND THAT IS REALLY THE "SECRET" OF PEOPLE LIKE OBAMA...AND HOWARD DEAN...AND A WAYS BACK...ROSS PEROT....
NO ONE REALLY EXPECTS TO HEAR THE TRUTH...AND WHEN THEY DO HEAR THE TRUTH ACTUALLY BEING SPOKEN IN THE MEDIA...THEY ARE SHOCKED! AMAZED! CAPTIVATED!
AMERICANS ARE SO USED TO THIS "FLUFF NEWS" BASED ON CELEBRITY MARRIAGES...OR GOD FORBID PARIS HILTON'S LATES ANTICS...THAT THEY FLOCK INSTINCTIVELY TO ANYONE WHO TELLS THE TRUTH...THE WAY TRUTH IS FELT AT GROUND LEVEL ON MAIN STREET U.S.A.
SO OBAMA IS RIGHT...IT'S NOT ABOUT HIM...IT'S ABOUT US...
YOU'D THINK THE DEMOCRATS WOULD REALIZE THIS...AND START TALKING UP THE PROGRESSIVE AGENDA THAT EVERYONE KNOWS IS COMING....
BUT NO!
THEY'RE STILL CIRCLING ON THE ISSUES...JUST LIKE FRIEDMAN...LOOKING FOR NON-ISSUE ISSUES.
BUT THE REPUBLICANS ARE SO CORRUPTED THAT EVEN A LITTLE POPULIST RATIONALITY FROM MS NANCY & CO....LOOKS LIKE PURE GENIUS INCARNATE NOWADAYS....
