I object to assigning David Gregory the “Dancin’Fool” moniker. I’ve had it as my online ID for years. Besides it’s an insult to Zappa. May I suggest another title instead? How about David “Humbug Hoofer” Gregory? ANy other suggestions out there?

Simon Marshall: If you don’t cooperate, you won’t get to meet Tom.
George: And who’s this Tom when he’s at home?
Simon Marshall: Only Tom Friedman, the official pundit.
George: Oh! You mean that dim twit who gets everything wrong?
Simon Marshall: Excuse me?
George: Oh, yeah. The lads frequently sit around the telly and watch him for a giggle. One time, we actually sat down and wrote these letters saying how great he was and all that rubbish.
Simon Marshall: He’s a trendsetter. It’s his profession.
George: He’s a drag. A well known drag. We turn the sound down on him and say rude things.
Simon Marshall: [horrified] Get him out of here! He’s knocking the image of the Village!
George: Have I said something amiss?

LOL, yes, poor Tom isn’t Fab at all, he’s dead grotty.

If you rule by fear, making people afraid, you can do anything you want, as Bush and other dictators have shown. The money will follow, as it did for many after 9/11. Some companies may fail, but those in the inner circle will thrive.

What Freidman and others are selling is not safety but fear because this is about control. If it were just about lives, we would have outlawed tobacco an age ago and demanded safer cars.

I disagree slightly. It is always about money.

What you’re forgetting: rightward leaning corporations made money from the people who eventually died of smoking their products and from driving their unsafe cars.

Dying in a terrorist attack, however, doesn’t make money for corporations–the profits have to come in the wake of the attack in the form of no-bid government contracts with limited or no government oversight.

At least that’s what has seemed to work so far.

Another cowardly professional liar promoting tyranny through fear.

WWPD?(Patton), slap her silly mug and tell him we could lose 90% and still be as big as Canada.

I dunno, perfectionists often come with a heaping side order of self-loathing.

Dolt: And treats women very badly. In the discussion about Cindy and why she is not divorced, someone opined she is a perfectionist and would not want the divorce/failure thing. She could not be a perfectionist and have married him; he’s mean.

Hey! That’s A Hard Day’s Night.

“He’s a drag. A well-known drag.” Heh. And we thought that the whole world would change with us, would learn to suss out the well-known drags.

But they didn’t.
