In the "You mean, Kennedy's been shot" category, we get this from David Brooks, who has entered into negotiations with the Obama White House:
The White House folks didn’t say this, but I got the impression they’d be willing to raise taxes on the bottom 95 percent of earners as part of an overall package.
You heard about how curiosity killed the cat? Well, information seems to be bringing David back.

La! There's that troublesome word again....
"Nonetheless, the White House made a case that was sophisticated and fact-based."
Mr. Brooks, in the manner of a drowning man clinging to his lifeboat, is hanging on to President Obama for his dear professional life. Someone who knows the guy, do a favor for us, ask Mr. Brooks if giving PM Brown 25 DVDs or plastic helicopters from the White House gift shop was "sophisticated"?
It might cause the Coke bottles to drop from Mr. Brooks' eyes....

Brooks is a "house conservative". Sort of like a Jew who changes his last name to Jones, so he can be part of proper WASP company. But you are what you are, and maybe Brooks is beginning to smell the coffee.
Angel| 3.6.09 @ 10:54AM
Do we HAVE to take Brooks back? I say good riddance to bad rubbish.
Alan Brooks| 3.6.09 @ 1:25PM
tsk, too bad Brooks is such a nice name. no relation.
Alan Brooks| 3.6.09 @ 1:41PM
the Clintonista we need is Newt, yep, he and Clinton worked together symbiotically.
But PLEASE no more Toffler! that stuff is "Marxism for computer geeks" (Richard Brookhiser) contributing to the bizarreness of today's America; you can't blame it on Obama.

Are you sure, Alan? He seems pretty liberal to me. :)
Alan Brooks| 3.6.09 @ 1:46PM
Newt? liberal? not by today's standards.
or maybe you mean Karl Marx himself. well, yeah, he was pretty liberal ;)
Alan Brooks| 3.6.09 @ 1:47PM
oh c'mon, i know you meant Obama...
ruth| 3.6.09 @ 1:49PM
No, I meant Brooks. (thanks for the wink!).
Alan Brooks| 3.6.09 @ 1:54PM
Brooks? you mean my father? boy was he liberal!
ruth| 3.6.09 @ 1:58PM
Well, his son turned out well.
Alan Brooks| 3.6.09 @ 2:02PM
wrong gene pool, Ruth.
ruth| 3.6.09 @ 2:08PM
Alan, I'm trying to give you a compliment. Am I embarrassing you? If I am, sorry.
Alan Brooks| 3.6.09 @ 3:36PM
we're just pulling each others legs.
