Ha, I like that. (re: the stimulus package—also applicable to the California budget)
Glenn Reynolds is on a roll lately as, well, always. It’s not always political but it is always interesting.
“Now, I’m not suggesting Obama intends to transform this nation into 1950s-era Soviet tyranny or that he will possess the power to do so. I’m suggesting Obama is praising and mainstreaming an economic philosophy that has failed to produce a scintilla of fairness or prosperity anywhere on Earth. Ever.”
“The 2012 race commences first thing Wednesday morning.”
“Maybe there are two Americas: one likes kids, the other doesn’t. Maybe it’s just that simple.

“The reason we’ve broken with tradition, or perhaps reverted to a deeper tradition, is not because we oppose sex education, or because we think their egos are too tender for public schools. It’s because we can do a superior job of educating our children. We want to cultivate in them an intellectual breadth and curiosity that public schools no longer offer.”
“Saddam’s non-existent nuclear program has been shut down.”
“A police community support officer ordered two Christian preachers to stop handing out gospel leaflets.”
“The Supreme Court has ruled that states can require voters to produce photo identification without violating their constitutional rights.”
“An armed society is a polite society.”
“The Democratic presidential candidates are doing a splendid job of helping John McCain get to the White House.”
“You want to help make society a better place? You want to eliminate poverty? Become a corporate lawyer.”
“As the results shake out, nothing is settled on the Republican side, except that Romney is the only Republican loser of the night. It’s hard to see how he comes back from this.
Huckabee wins, of course — evidently, he found the holy grail of the caucuses, expanding the pool. Thompson did much better than expected, as did McCain. Rudy Giuliani watches the race stay unresolved long enough that his late strategy could work. And even Ron Paul made double digits.
