Irony #1

As part of the 95% of Democrats that are capitalists, I love how I now get to rub it in the face of the 95% of Republicans that are capitalists that for all the complaining about "pinko commie" liberals, it is the Republicans who are pushing for the first significant governmental reform that is actually, and for once accurately, communism. Thanks for pushing the plan to buy Freddie and Fannie, guys! Yay for government ownership of industries! And double thanks for proving once and for all that your brand of "economics" doesn't work, regulation of markets (as Adam Smith noted) is actually a *good* thing, and all "lassez faire" does is make you have to apply extreme (and *communist*) reparations in the future, when they're going to hurt more. Can we go into the heartland of America and start calling you guys "pinko commies" yet?

And not only that, but you give us this trifecta of fail on an election year.

Do we owe you something for all this? (We'd like to know now, if you don't mind -- we know how you roll, but we *don't* like carrying debts over from year to year. We like to call that "fiscal responsibility." You may -- may -- have heard of it.)
