It is amusing, though not quite as much as it would have been if any politician over the last decade had pretended to see what was going on and understood what was coming. You know, the way I've been pointing out the Clinton economy being a fallacy pretty much forever.
As far as the rest of it goes: This board, much like all politics in America, has degraded into a cesspool. About the only reason there was EVER intelligent discourse here was because BiB knew how to frame a topic. When he "left", there really wasn't anyone who could replace that and voices like Debbie, Molson, RiO, etc showed exactly what the two party system really is. It gets the effort from me that it deserves. You may want to revisit some of your recent "work" - just to see what standard you think you're holding up.
The funny part about those who tell me I sound like a "bitter old man" is it's usually someone who's significantly older than I am. Perhaps you should revisit your beliefs and ask yourself why you haven't gained the required wisdom at this point.
