HOW TO BRING A POLITICIAN BACK TO REALITY
Re: Philip Klein's Obama's Primrose Path:

Yup! Another dart on target from Mr. Klein.

And where will that primrose path take us? To the land of The Wizard of Obama where "democracy" and "capitalism" will become mere buzz-words and we, chameleon-like will "eat the air, promise-crammed."

It's muscle-flexing Time!

It's time for powerful contributors to the campaign funds of senators and representatives to flex their muscles and stop the machinations of Tim "Little Hugo Chavez" Geithner and his leader, the Teleprompter King!

Every lobbyist for any business concern, and every contributor with connections to a business concern, or with a deep concern for the future of our country, should send a clear message to their congressional minions immediately.

Tell them that if they go along with this totalitarian de facto nationalization of business they’ll get not another dime.

For some real eye-popping muscle-flexing, add that the contributor will support that congressperson's opponent in the next primary and general elections.

Then watch them start to put "the country" ahead of Exalted Leader Obama and his anti-capitalism, anti-democratic rampage.

Principle never pays. It always costs.

And Congresspersons need to have that brought home with a "short sharp shock."

LIKE A SWIMMER OUT OF HIS LZR SUIT
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s Progress Thwarted:

Being a swimmer since childhood, having swum competitively until college, I am always grateful when the boss holds forth on swimming. He is spot on in his analysis of all that is wrong with the LZR suit.

In pondering his words, it occurs to me that these suits are not so much suits as they are hulls; providing increased bouyancy and easier progress across the surface of the water. Which brings me to opine that perhaps stopping at swim fins is not enough...why not introduce the use of canoes?
