Heaps o' genius. Genius on a stick. Why is there not nearly enough genius on a stick?

If all political conversations took this turn, perhaps we might learn something.

Martin Luther King think he's the only one with a dream? I, I, I. Does that guy ever think about anyone but himself? Even his adultery was selfless.

Someone's gotta save the world now that Dreamboy got himself greased.

Might as well be George Will.

And ground beef in pineapple glaze.

Hmm. Pineapple glaze.

Hubris as a governing philosophy

If true, Rich Lowry has written an excellent commentary on the ugly protection racket that is Democratic regulatory policy, these days.

Pro-Business Does Not Mean Pro-Market

I don't have nearly enough knowledge of this area of policy to be able to say whether Rich's charges are true or not.

But they are remarkably plausible, given Democratic ideological and political strategy, right now.

Meaning, I don't know the details of the cases in the charges he is making, here, about businesses buying favor from the party and members of Congress.

But I can believe them, prima facie, because they match the general pattern of behavior from Democrats in the last 2 years, in particular.

Reap what you sow. So reap carefully, I suppose is the lesson.

You preach an unforgiving attitude to matters criminal and political, you may just get to taste the fruits of your labors.

Perhaps Democrats will be sounding a more liberal tone on such matters. I know. Democrats liberal. Who'd a known?

And, sadly, all of this is it likely to be for naught. The political winds do not blow leftward, this season.

Hubris, the Greeks murmur. Hubris.

Haven't you heard? All the kids are doing it.
