Was I the only one who saw Sen. Gregg’s denunciation of Obama’s budget – it’ll bankrupt the United States…:

The top Republican on the Senate Budget Committee says the Obama administration is on the right course to save the nation’s financial system.But Sen. Judd Gregg of New Hampshire also says President Barack Obama’s massive budget proposal will bankrupt the country.

Gregg says he has no regrets in withdrawing his nomination to become commerce secretary. He pulled out after deciding he could not fully back the administration’s economic policies.

…and thought about Evita?

The Perons – Juan and Evita – were Argentinian Socialists who, between ’em, spent years as (depending on who you ask) charismatic saviors of Argentinian society or tin-pot strongmen/women who sold Fabian Socialism using callow but easy-to-digest populism, who repeatedly bankrupted a nation that, by all rights, should be the wealthiest and most prosperous in all of Latin America, getting elected repeatedly through a combination of anger at sitting administrations and what we call “star power” today.

Just you watch; Andrew Lloyd Weber (or someone very like him) is going to write a musical about The Obamas.  I say it as a joke now – but it’s one of those jokes that seems to come true for me lately.
