McDonalds & Public Space

OK, I really don't want to sit there tonight, it's like they are an arm of the Ministry of Truth (You MUST watch Fox News...).  I think it has been over a month since I have stopped there. 

Just accidentally caught a sound bite this afternoon of John Boehner whining about Obama's lack of "Leadership" re the "Fiscal Cliff" and "Sequestration";  Had to comment that hey, he created these problems.  Forgot to check if the agreement was that, yes, it was the Tea Party ideologues (Boehener, et. al.) who created these problems, or the Ministry of Truth has brainwashed them, and it must be Obama's fault.

Not sure if I want to know the answer. 

And a Wall Street Journal Editorial by Phil Gramm (Today, 10/18/12) about how the election might be tipped by people so comfortable with their entitlements, that they are "satisfied" with the Presidents leadership.  Or something like that, like the Financial Crisis (Deregulating fool) doesn't have anything to do with the growth in the use of Food Stamps, etc.

Oh yeah, and I was reading about the economic background of Hitler's political rise last night (Tooze, Wages of Destruction).  Austerity didn't work then, so why would it work now? 

Just rocking in my hammock.
