Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.

The Village
is the few thousand people inside the Beltway who control the political life of the country; they are responsible for managing the Overton Window, for example. They are thoroughly bi-partisan. They all know each other, and they all fuck each other (both senses). The term "Village" (my term was Versailles on the Potomac) captures their provincialism, their pettiness, and how small (all senses) they really are. I believe Village is also the name of a horror movie that Digby had in mind.
Americans United is dedicated to preserving the constitutional principle of church-state separation as the only way to ensure religious freedom for all Americans.

But this is good, isn't it?
The longer the time they say they're going to need, the greater the odds that they don't pass anything at all, right?
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
Yes, I think it is good
Why don't they just pass the goody bag, strip out everything else, and go back to square one?
But that doesn't mean that the process isn't what it is: I've always hated that gluey, fake, soppy Bing Crosby song.

I preferred 'Christmas with the Chipmunks' myself.
It had a greater variety of carols and songs.
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
I hate the chipmunks...
... even more than Bing Crosby. Even more than Harry Reid, if it comes to that, and I was a Reid defender for some time.

Me, too
But I thought that's because I'm not Christian. (It's probably one of my least favorite Christmas songs. OK, I hate it, really—it's sickeningly saccharine.)
I always get a kick out of Mele Kalikimaka myself—it always feels vaguely subversive to me. inverting all the traditional Victorian images of Christmas.
Every apathetic citizen is a silent enlistee in the cause of inverted totalitarianism.—Sheldon Wolin
And then there's this
great Christmas carol which seems appropriate.
