I was washing the dishes this morning, when all of a sudden the question came to me, What is the greatest obligation that an artist has towards the next generation of fellow-artists to follow him or her? Interesting question, no? – So I thought about it for a while, and concluded To always make sure that you get paid for your work, of course.

Then I cleaned out the coffeepot.

You remember the Hayek vs. Keynes videos, of course.

Anyway, generally speaking, it’s interesting that you can automatically peg the guy wearing the American flag tie as being a Hayekian (in other words, a Righty).  I’m willing to bet that there are Democrats smirking right now at that particular fashion-victim stereotype.  And I’m also willing to bet that there are Republicans smirking right now at the way that I’ve just stereotyped the Democrat.

Frankly, it’s the Democrats that should be worried.

…for that matter, so am I.

‘These people’ being the media, and their contemptible willingness to accept a double standard when it comes to violent rhetoric.  After screaming for so long about every possible hint of a suggestion of a possibility of violent speech from the Right, it’s amazing what will be forgiven when it comes from the Left:

Tom Friedman — who knows a bit about Hezbollah — calls the tea partiers the “Hezbollah faction” of the GOP bent on taking the country on a “suicide mission.” All over the place, conservative Republicans are “hostage takers” and “terrorists,” “terrorists” and “traitors.” They want to “end life as we know it on this planet,” says Nancy Pelosi. They are betraying the founders, too. Chris Matthews all but signs up for the “Make an Ass of Yourself” contest at the State Fair.  Joe Nocera writes today that “the Tea Party Republicans can put aside their suicide vests.” Lord knows what Krugman and Olbermann have said.

Then last night. on the very day Gabby Giffords heroically returns to cast her first vote since that tragic attack six months ago, the Vice President of the United States calls the Republican Party a bunch of terrorists.

Regardless, No one cares.

Before they can get me.

What?  Oh, Dave Barry reported today: “Vegan group warns hot dogs can kill you.”  Because, of course, if you don’t eat them you’ll live forever, or even noticeably longer than this particular bunch of religious fanatics.

No, I don’t know why you’d want to.

Anyway, time for a hot dog.  And for dinner…

…bring us the next Hayek vs. Keynes video? Seeing that in the long run Keynesian theory is dead, and everything.  Jim Geraghty wants to know; and so do I.

You can drop them a line here, if you’re curious, too.

Stop LAUGHING!

Hey, guess what? The Democrats plan to focus on jobs! (Via Ace of Spades)  Stop me if you’ve heard this one before… what, you have?

A lot?

Are you sure?

I’m not often in a reggae mood, but what the heck.

I hate giving the House Minority Leader credit for wit – hey, I’m a partisan hack, remember? – but this was pretty funny.

In an interview with ABC News’ Diane Sawyer, Pelosi said she will “absolutely” vote yes on the compromise package, even though she agreed with one colleagues’ characterization of it as a “Satan sandwich.”

“It probably is – with some Satan fries on the side,” Pelosi said.

PS: Speaker Boehner gets off a good one, too:

After the vote, which could come as early as tonight, where does the speaker expect to be tomorrow morning?

“Hopefully hiding somewhere,” he said.

(Via Instapundit) That’s the rather bombshell allegation being made today; the gist is that Rodney Young (a retiring psychologist for the Department of Juvenile Justice has reported that his colleagues were the target of an attempt to extort $500 contributions to Steve Beshear’s re-election campaign, with the threat that they could lose their jobs if they did not so contribute. The major argument against this happening is that it would be EXTREMELY STUPID of anyone affiliated with the Governor to make this kind of threat; particularly considering the video found below.

For those without video access, that’s Steve Beshear promising that accountability begins at the top, and that he’s expecting all of his top staffers will be trained in ethics.

Well. All right, then. (more…)
