The Willing Suspension of Disbelief

So....
Riots in Syria are good, riots in London are bad.
Overthrowing the system in Tripoli is beneficial, overthrowing the system in Afghanistan is not.
Putting money into the economy is good, but taxing it out of the system is good, too.
A president with clearly antiwar sentiments has as his presidency highlights the assassination of a terrorist and the military overthrow of another.
Raising regulations on mortgage lenders is good, but we should not raise regulations on the nation's largest lenders, Fannie May and Freddie Mac.
Ethanol will make us less dependent on foreign energy but it requires more energy to produce than it creates.
Electric vehicles will create much less pollution but their energy will be supplied by coal fire plants.
Government cannot create jobs but Obama is responsible for the jobless rate.

This is a very tolerant citizenry.

Corn: Bad Enough to Drive You to Drink

The corn-to-ethanol insanity offers a real opportunity: It allows an honest forthright politician to step forward, forsake the superficial and predatory support of the ethanol lobby, and stand on the side of honesty, logic and common sense. This is a real moment for a man of integrity to shine amid the dim bulbs of American politics! To make insider corruption, stupidity and self-centeredness the outsiders! To take a real stand! Shine the light on the self absorbed subsidy leeches! Expose and cleanse the lobbyists and educate the population on their subversive and anti competitive selfishness!

Any takers? Only one: Sarah Palin.
