    Of course, you are including the two Bush administrations and the beloved Saint Ronnie in that time period you know.

    Gruber’s language speaks for itself. Seemingly identifies everybody except the Tea Partiers who revolted against his product.

    But any storyline that doesn’t have the bunnies in it is good.

    Americans vote against their own best economic interests. Just look at the mid term elections. Now, that’s really stupid!

    Scott, I’m guessing you saw the Twilight Zone episode, “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street”, about unseen aliens who manipulate events on an idyllic suburban street to raise fear, distrust, and ultimately turn neighbors feloniously against each other. The above is an excellent take on that story. My only question arising out of the incident referenced above is, does MIT ever retroactively rescind degrees for egregious stupidityhubris (intentionally one word; I can’t think of an actual word to describe Mr. Gruber’s actions in this regard)?

    “No Liberals wanted it”?! Wow, you’re even farther off the scale than I ever imagined.

    Truism: Half of all people on earth are of below-average intelligence.

    BTW, that’s no criticism of that half of humanity. I’ve met institutionalized retarded adults who were more reality-focused and rationally-thinking than many university professors I’ve known. But it’s a good fact to remember when you’re driving and you’re wondering what the driver in the next lane is going to do.

    Yup… works every time. Straight party ticket voting for simple (or lazy) minds.
