Man, I never read Thomas Friedman too much in the Times because he rarely just grabs me. Nothing to do with politics, but he’s not as interesting to me as Krugman (he with one of the greatest gifts at explaining economics issues), Herbert (who I just absolutely dig), and Dowd (she who I just can’t figure out). But with this one, Friedman got crunker than anyone has about this situation.
I don’t mean crunker than any newspaper person. I mean crunker than anyone I’ve met on a street or anyone that writes a blog I read. He’s saying what I’ve said to many in private company–the handling of this storm might put Bush down with Harding and Hoover in the history of American presidents.
Which is to say going down as the Worst. President. Ever.

Is that economist crunk or something?
Wishing someone drowns in a tub? I ain’t even said that. Neither have you. If Friedman wins this, he may get your prize.
Hooray, Tom!

That’s fucked up. You’ve heard me wish shit like that (and worse) on people a thousand times. This is rigged.
See, this is tough because we’d probably be in each other’s weddings (assuming I ever have one). I don’t want this to seem rigged. As a result, the winner and new Red Stripe Reader of the Month is Kirk Deming!
Ben, gotta step the game up.
Now, some overzealous cat is gonna get on me because the Reader of the Month is always white. I’m such a Tom.

You can’t believe this. But if you didn’t from jump, you wouldn’t post this. I don’t see any evidence here at all.

Friedman usually nauseates me with India as worker’s utopia, flat earth shyte, but he is on point with this article.
Bush and nem have run this country like one crunk party for several years. They started throwing dem bo’s at 9/11. This was followed up by the massive tax cuts in subsequent years. Now it looks like ol’ Trina has come in and “toe de club up!”

My fault… That link is a counterpoint to Noya Clap’s link, not big grip.

“Contrarian coon”? Is that copyrighted or can I use that? I have a feeling the phrase is going to come in handy in future…
