From my all-time favorite columnist George Will.

Half or a quarter of the way through this interesting experiment with an incessantly splenetic presidency, much of the nation has become accustomed to daily mortifications. Or has lost its capacity for embarrassment, which is even worse.

If the country’s condition is calibrated simply by economic data — if, that is, the United States is nothing but an economy — then the state of the union is good. Except that after two years of unified government under the party that formerly claimed to care about fiscal facts and rectitude, the nation faces a $1 trillion deficit during brisk growth and full employment. Unless the president has forever banished business cycles — if he has, his modesty would not have prevented him from mentioning it — the next recession will begin with gargantuan deficits, which will be instructive.

The president has kept his promise not to address the unsustainable trajectory of the entitlement state (about the coming unpleasant reckoning, he said: “Yeah, but I won’t be here”), and his party’s congressional caucuses have elevated subservience to him into a political philosophy. 

 

Full brilliantly poignant and biting article at link.

Its still hard to fathom that this idiot genuinely believes that because it’s cold and snowing in some places that means global warming isn’t real 

Or how many of our population believe it.  Says something about our education system.

nough to drive ya to drinking.

Back in the 70's heavy equipment operators used to change their oil by digging a big hole, driving over it and draining their oil into the hole then driving off and backfilling.

Swear to God that was common practice. 

Back then there were lots of people who would have defended that practice but now we know much better and nobody in their right mind would defend that.

 

30 or 40 years from now these comments you are making about the environment will sound totally asinine.

 

Be on the right side of history for once please.
