"Poverty on track to post record gain under Obama..."

I went back to read my local paper...why I ask myself, having worked there many moons ago, and I came away realizing that the press just doesn't get it. I don't know if it is the fumes from the printers' inks, or the dust from the newsprint, or the haze of being around people who all think the same way, but they are as clueless as the NYT.

I just wish LBJ, in speaking to the "War on Poverty", had said, "My God, I've lost Walter Cronkite."
We could have stopped this idiocy, turned all these people into productive individuals and saved millions of dollars.

National decline is a feature, not a bug, of the liberal operating system.
