Today's quotables

Socialists endorse McCain

Barbara Ehrenreich unmasks the Socialist International Conspiracy from hell.

After months of studying the candidates' economic plans, we have determined that one of them, and only one, can be relied on to complete the destruction of capitalism...

Front page EDWEEK headline about Chicago’s Annenberg Challenge reads:

“Backers Say Project Not ‘Radical.’”

Bill Gates on “creative capitalism”

Gates talks to Harvard business students about the powers of,

"Creative capitalism - it is not just about dollars, it is about the power of innovation. Capitalism has done a great job, but the foundation takes to areas where the mechanism has fallen short," said Gates. "My view is that every company should take 5% of their deep innovators, their researchers and really get them to see the needs of the poorest- in their area of work."

Gee, 5% vs. 95% still doesn’t seem like a fair fight to me.

Ouch!
Leo “The Plumber”Casey at Edwize breaks out the old Roto-Rooter and does a job on Joe Williams, Whitney Tilson, and the hedge-fund Democrats at DFER.

Barry Crimmins’ blog is one of my favorite reads. Here, with one burst of classy writing, he pulls the pipe wrench out of the hands of Samuel (“Joe the Plumber”) Wurzelbacher,

“...who owns no business as of the moment and obviously is a few mountain ranges away from Obama's tax increase threshold,” and the carpet out from under “loopy old men like McCain telling us our children should be taught by soldiers who have been spared the cruel and unfair regulations that require people to get an education before becoming educators.”
