"convulsive caver" = Category Error

As Vastleft might say. Obama is doing exactly what he wants to do.

Otherwise, sure, there is very little down-side to an Obama second term. I notice we haven't heard anything about "Supreme Court Appointments" in a very long while. Interesting?

Sorry, I don't fall in love with politicians. I'm not that desperate.....

True, but the part I really liked is the R think tankers....

... looking at the balance sheet and concluding they might to better under Obama than Romney. Hilarity!

Little Downside to R's

That's what I meant. Obama is a "known known" and Romney is a "known unknown" in their parlance. They know how to make a buck off Obama, making a buck under Romney is an unknown. And really, that's what the elites are about, they don't really give a shit about any of this crap they spread out for mass consumption, even they don't believe that shit.

It's like Pepsi execs who drink Coke.

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.
